If I analyze the three classes around the world I see rich and poor as psychological polar opposites to each other sort of like two sides of the same coin.
The really different class is Middle Class. And yet, as far as democracies go it is the most important one. Because all the excesses of the upper or rich class are mitigated with some suffering within the middle Classes worldwide. And the "I will do anything for money" of the poor which leads to various sorts of immoral and unethical behavior isn't there as much in the Middle Class.
So, because of this Middle Class people tend to be the most honest of the three classes. This is not always true but it is somewhat true.
Poor people cannot be honest or they might not survive. Rich people often cannot be honest or they might lose everything and be poor once again. Only the middle Class in nations like the U.S. could expect to stay middle Class if they owned their own business and played by the rules.
However, Globalization is changing all this and once again dividing the world into rich and poor.
Without a middle Class that is healthy, human rights will not exist like they have in the U.S. since the 1930s and the Great Depression and World War II. We have lived in a golden age from the 1930s until the end of the 1990s that began to die with 9-11 and it is still dying now.
What we do this election might very well decide whether our country rises or falls into a 3rd world status over the next 20 years or more.
So, think carefully not only about your own future but the future of all your children and grandchildren when you vote this November here in the U.S.
