The Classes

The super powerful wealthy elite,
does none of the work, but keeps all of the money,
reaping all of the benefits,
without paying any taxes.
The middle class does all of the work for very little money,
pays all of the taxes while enjoying very little benefits if any.
The poor are just there to scare the crap out of the middle class,
to keep them showing up at those jobs for as long as their lives last.
