If you have to sell plasma, you aren't middle class anymore. This is probably because they've been gutting the middle class in favor of the rich for decades. They've been scapegoating the "lower class" to distract from who is actually responsible for this gross inequity. The reality is: If you have to work every day to stay alive, you are working class too.
