Totally agree here. One of the problems is that the wealthy try to draw a stark class line between college workers and non college workers despite the salary difference being a lot closer than they are to the wealthy class. They pit the two groups against each other constantly in every media outlet with "Business" or "Money" in the name so we fight and never work towards bettering the workers together.

I have to pay a lot more in taxes now than I did when I was a struggling waiter for ten years, but I'm not gonna bitch about paying my due. I remember what it was like to stare at $80 in my bank account and decided which bill to pay first and which can slide. I want public services funded to help people. I want schools funded. If someone get to the point where they can let bills sit on autopay and not worry and they actively work against any govt benefits for those making less than them, well they can piss off.

What I am gonna bitch about are the wealthy fucks who do everything they can to pay less effective tax than the rest of us while also trying to dismantle said public services.
