Not trying to get too political... but too often I hear people shaming the working and poor classes for needing help... We should help those who need it. Meanwhile, not taxing the NFL and churches, and letting the upper class skate through tax loopholes, and overpaying politicians to sit on their arses all day and bicker over how best (or least) to help the people they were elected to 'serve'... We're vilifying the wrong people.
Well, maybe not Redditors... Using the Internet, many of us are intrepid in the ways of seeing through mass media agendas and seeking out alternative sources of information... but people as a whole. If you use Facebook, you probably know what I mean. If you started using computers back when it wasn't cool, when only dorks used computers, you certainly know what I mean.
Source: The Usual Suspects. Kevin Spacey's line, "The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist." And that's where my thought originated. "The greatest trick the upper class ever pulled was convincing the middle class that they aren't the problem." But it sounds better when you name all three in succession. Especially since the 'they' is vague and, particularly to English learners, could apply to either. I've been kicking it around in my head since... Might still need some work, but I like it where it is for now.
