the false self-image of the so-called 'middle'

surprise! I do not know where it came from, but for the ratios of the levels were very many good articles in such a short time. Here's another one:

Quote:

The German middle class, the most voters, but loses more and more political influence. Guilt is the middle class itself: It borders on the arms, thinks he is on the side of the wealthy - and thus reinforces precisely those who enrich themselves at his expense.

(...)

But why the middle class is shrinking? It is often assumed that the state is to blame for the prey, the middle class through taxes and social contributions. This observation is not entirely wrong. Indeed, the recent tax reforms have favored above all the top earners while the middle class is left alone to finance the growing number of poor.

Nevertheless, it is strange to be pitied of all the middle class as victims of the state. For the middle class is still the vast majority of eligible voters. The politics knows that elections are won only with the middle class, so all the established parties seek to "center". The FDP campaigned as "Strengthening the middle" in the last federal election campaign with the slogan.

The middle class can not only victims but also perpetrators must be. When it descends, it is because it is involved in this decline. She herself is to vote for a tax and social policies, their Interests is the complete opposite.

The cost of this self-deception is enormous. While the top earners will be charged less and less, the middle class is rapidly losing. Even now, ordinary workers have to pay up to 53 percent of their labor costs as taxes and social security - while, conversely, their income tax on millionaires with an average of 34 percent.

(...)

Even lobbyists are only successful because they target the self-image of middle class. They speak of their hopes and dreams to serve their fears and prejudices. If lobbyists want to get privileges for the rich, then they must feel the middle class To give that also belongs to the elite.



(...) But the middle class did not realize how big the gap with the wealthy actually is. The belief in one's own rise continues unabated, as the boom in private schools shows. In the fight for one's career escapes the middle class, as unattainable, the elites, who acquire their status not by power, but inherited from generation to generation: The top ten percent already own 61 percent of the total national wealth, and receive 36 percent of all income.

(...)

The middle class status overestimated but also because they are much power and attention used, strongly distinguished from the lower class. Only too happy to care for the middle class of the prejudice that the poor are freeloaders. Sun least 57 percent of Germans think that long-term unemployed "make a good life at the expense of society". From this contempt for the lower layer results in a fatal alliance: The middle class thinks he is on the side of the elite, because they said that they would jointly exploited by perfidious arms.

(...)

The middle class already suspect that the cost of the financial crisis should stick to it. Nevertheless, they still turned against the lower class and not against the elite. So say almost 65 percent of people who feel themselves affected by the economic crisis "must be jointly supplied to many vulnerable groups in Germany." Again gets completely out of sight that have benefited mainly the wealthy from the fact that the state has bailed out with billions in banks and the economy.
