With Harris and Walz, it's middle class only.

That has always bothered me, but it didn't start with them.

It's a Republican and media creation that "poor" and "poverty"
is associated with crime and evil.

This is a real shame, but there it is.

Its always middle class. I daresay there are Americans who are working class who think their's theyre middle class.

making 125k a yr or something. Not someone earning 35k a year. I always considered myself working class

Someone earning 125k in Missouri is rich in California that is middle class.

There is also income vs assets and expenses. By income I am lower middle class or poor. By assets I am apparently upper middle class.

I marched with him and attended his sermons during the Moral Mondays protests. It was an amazing time.

Forward together. Not one step back. That was the dominant call and response we shouted as we moved down the sidewalk 2 by 2 on the way to the rally point from the church.

I shook that same hand. How cool is that?

Thanks BRDS!

I don't know how he does it but he does it!!

but wary
I've been holding my tongue on a thing or two until after
Kamala Harris is safely seated as POTUS

Love Reverend Barber - and I know he has a higher title now, but he will always be Reverend to me.

He’s amazing and he gets it!

What we need in America is a Universal Basic Income (UBI). It would stabilize our communities, lift people out of poverty, and reduce crime (since people would not have to resort to desperate measures to live). Most of the money from UBI would go back into the economy anyway- mostly to Landlords and Supermarkets. It would also eliminate the need for many other social welfare programs and would cut a lot of government red tape. Tied to Medicare for All and we would have a strong safety net for people in America. We would have a much better country.

Stop importing workers for most things, we have people here who would do these jobs, if they had UBI to cover their main costs. And yes, Americans will do all those dirty, nasty jobs, we've done them for generations. But we were fooled into believing everyone could have a "tech" job, when most people don't want to go to college for that stuff. Now it's a push to college and student load debt, only to watch people being hired in from other places, while they train their replacements.

And put away the pitchforks, I believe in legal immigration, just not mass imports of anyone to take jobs that someone else is already doing.

I've been poor most of my life
but due to a quirk of fate
most of the people I know have not been
poor people are basically invisible
