The Middle Class First.
Not the Red State Middle Class. Not the Blue State Middle Class. Not the Republican middle Class. Not the Democrat Middle Class. Not the Conservative Middle Class. Not the Liberal Middle Class. Not the Right Wing Middle Class. Not the Left Wing Middle Class. Not the Christian middle Class. Not the Muslim Middle Class. Not the Buddhist Middle Class. Not the Jewish Middle Class. Not the Catholic Middle Class. Not the Presbyterian Middle Class. Not the Neo-Con Middle Class. Not the Wickan Middle Class. Not the Dirty Fucking Hippy Middle Class.
Just the Middle Class. First.
That’s Unity; not uniformity. That is the true strength of the American people, the backbone of our country. Because the majority of the middle class lack the political insight to see that the ruling class of this country is not them, but the wealthy corporate class, we find ourselves a nation losing a class war with the owners of her engines of wealth, whose aims and ends are not always those of highest benefit for Americans and America, or any nation of the world. Rather is their love and loyalty servile to “mammon.”
There’s a great difference between wealth which leads to greediness and selfishness and that which is held and dispensed in the spirit of stewardship by those who have an abundance of this world’s goods. But wealth is unenduring. The love of riches all too often obscures and even destroys the spiritual vision. The danger is one of wealth’s becoming, not your servant but your master.
Christians will note that Jesus never taught nor countenanced idleness or indifference to providing the physical necessities for one’s family. He taught that the material and temporal must be subordinated to the welfare of the soul and the progress of the spiritual nature.
The Middle Class of America must get itself united for change; change strong enough to change the balance of power back to the Middle man; change it controls and decides upon for the well-being of America, not the wealthy. For America; not the Red State Middle Class. Not the Blue State Middle Class. Not the Republican middle Class. Not the Democrat Middle Class. Not the Conservative Middle Class. Not the Liberal Middle Class. Not the Right Wing Middle Class. Not the Left Wing Middle Class. Not the Christian middle Class. Not the Muslim Middle Class. Not the Buddhist Middle Class. Not the Jewish Middle Class. Not the Catholic Middle Class. Not the Presbyterian Middle Class. Not the Neo-Con Middle Class. Not the Wickan Middle Class. Not the Dirty Fucking Hippy Middle Class.
The Middle Class. First. Last. Always.
That’s Barack Obama’s most powerful unifying meme, and it should be.
