Middle Class

The term middle class means you are caught in the middle when things go bad.
You are the one left holding the bag.
When things are good, you get too little to move up.
You are the one too rich to get help and to poor to wait it out.
You are the one who cannot afford the attorney to enforce your rights.
You hate taking hand outs because you know it was another middle class person who gave.
You work for your meals and the lazy winers get it for free.
Your kids want the new iPod and you worry about the water bill.
Everything costs more every year and your paycheck stays the same.
You don't have time for poetry.
