Writes Daily Kos diarist MinistryofTruth: "The myth of the middle class being so much better off than the working poor only took about 6 months to blow away. The fact is, if you consider yourself middle class you have way more in common with the guy below you than you do with the CEO of Bear Stearns. If you work for Bear Stearns and earn $1,000,000 a year you still have more in common with the middle class guy and the other guys below him than you do with the CEO of Bear Stearns."
