Even if you have some minor investment in the stock market, you might still be working class…
Tying retirement to the stock market is insidious class warfare
“Investment” is millions of dollars. Your paltry 500 hundred dollars in stock isn’t even a rounding error.
Thank you, that’s what I wanted to say. OP’s post doesn’t make this explicitly clear.
agreed, I’d phrase it as if your labour is the primary means of paying your bills
Under the “low-middle-upper” class paradigm, i have yet to meet a person that calls themselves low/upper class. Everyone thinks they’re middle class because there is always someone richer/poorer. These terms fog the real class dynamics.
If you consider how value created by labour globally is distributed, you’ll see that all the Western workers are labour aristocracy, which together with petty bourgeoisie forms the so-called middle class (not exactly a Marxist term)
