Being Upper Middle Class: What Does It Mean

by Mr. Liberal (1/3/09) 257 views

Upper middle class, like middle class, is a term that is often used ambigously. Yet, there is a scientific definition - being an expert. In my experience it also means not being able to identify as ordinary and having to work very hard to keep one's status.

Democrats and Growth

by Mr. Liberal (1/3/09) 52 views

If growth is important to you, vote Democrat. Over the past 60 years, Democrats have consistently presided over greater GDP per capita growth, personal income growth and lower unemployment. Why?
