How did Max Weber and C. Wright Mills define the middle class? How has that definition changed? Does the middle class exist in America?

  • The tax code is designed to keep you poor.Tax code compliance in business exceeds the tax code liability. There is no wealth tax productive behavior is punished through taxiation

  • Great videos, subscribing.

  • Thanks from scotland, radiohogan.

  • @Antiks72

    In France the government is afraid of the people, whereas in America the people fear the government.

    I have also lived in France and French live very well.

  • @radiohogan The French. People are well taken care of in France.

  • You didn't watch it. It has to do with Calvinism - religious training. If not sociology, what are you studying? If you do study sociology, why do you ignore the fathers of sociology for anecdotes?

    Only a simpleton would equate the cultural significance of Calvinism with church attendance. How can you ignore Max Weber - you are anobody with very little experience or knowledge? Why bother with school without a burning urn of churning funk in your belly?

  • How about Sweden? I can put you in touch with a Swedish economist to fill you in on how well the Swedes live.

  • Part II

    So, the folks who invented capitalism (The Dutch) don't know what they are doing, They invented crop rotation, insurance, corporations, commodities markets, stock markets. They are supreme Keynesians with 3.2% unemployment. Meanwhile you live in a toilet.

  • Please view my video: "Why the Middle Class Hates the Poor" based on "The Protestand Work Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism," although I could have used Marx's class conflict model.

    Did you say you are studying sociology? Is so, please find a new subject. You will never acquire a "Sociological Imagination."

  • You don't understand you live in Angloworld where hatred of the poor is encouraged. See my videos "The Pedagogy of Oppression - PartI-II" based on the book by a Brazilian writer.

    There are no (zero) dummies in Holland where I lived for 8 years. Many European countries pay for college education. Social Democracy was made the continent a better place. England is a toilet.
