Working Class vs Middle Class

[Callum93]

Which class of people are more important to society?

For me it has to be the working class. Without them the backbone of society would not exist and society could cope without the middle class, which is not the case for the working class. 😛

Is working class a fancy term for poor people? As far as I know, middle class people have to work for their money too. 😛

No, the working class are not necessarily poor...

So whats the difference?

There's no need for all this class warfare. All the classes are equally important.

Very much this.

If that's true, then why do some of them get to live comfortably while others don't?

Some people are lazier than others. I don't see you working with PUNCH CARD computers like bill gates was when he was your age. He clocked 10,000 hours of programming on PUNCH CARD systems, which is widely considered to be mastery-level programming.

Because that's the way life is. In most cases, one can choose their social class. Whether they complete school, go to college, or enter the workforce at 16 determines social class. Fact is you NEED social classes, and without them any government can easily fail. Without lower class people, who will work low skilled jobs (fast food, garbage collectors, janitors)? Without higher classes, who will provide money for privately owned buisnesses?

Communism is an ideal, it doesn't work. 😉

Communism assumes that people will work without incentives. Unfortunately, they don't.

 

[Watch Me Sink]

Because it's fun to live off the system.
