"Who the hell is this working man?"

Nowadays, the vast number of working Americans who live from paycheck to paycheck, whose standard of living has been in a constant state of decline since the early 1980s, and whose access to healthcare and to retirement income is much less than it used to be and should be, generally work in offices and enjoy some degree of post-secondary education. Many have the dubious "honor" of being paid a salary, and are expected to contribute unpaid overtime to their employers.

Too damn many of these undercompensated wage-slaves believe that they have something in common with their rich-and-getting-richer "superiors," and consistently vote against their own economic interests because they can successfully be swayed by "conservative" "principles." This is especially true of many white Americans, who are easily duped by arguments that their tax payments are in danger of being fraudulently transferred to the scapegoated minorities they've been brought up to mistrust.

In today's industrialized world, the average "working man" is a fool who imagines that he is something "more" than a mere worker.
