    Middle class is not the same as the rich. Trying to get various groups of not rich people against each other has been a time tested tactic to keep everyone from acting against the rich. First it was race but now it’s trying to put the rural vs urban, the less fortunate vs the slightly less fortunate, union vs non union, etc.

      Totally agree. Somebody who makes 100k aren’t the problem at all, its the people who make salaries with at least a couple of more zeros added to the end. The people that OP should be mad at aren’t ever struggling to pay a bill.

      £100k per year is not middle class, it’s the top 3% of the country.

      I grew up middle class, my family are lawyers, high level civil servants, software engineers. I don’t know anyone who earns £100k.
