Forum Post: Contented Classes

..."In the U.S., the contented classes hail from both Parties. They are not a majority of the population by any means, given that half of all Americans are “poor” or “near poor.” They are a majority of the politically and economically influential people who support policies that maintain their comfort at the expense of the necessities of the “functional underclass” left behind in poverty. The contented classes include the super-rich, of course, but also the managerial, professional, and wealthier working classes. In addition, they vote at a higher percentage than the poor...." - Ralph Nader
