"Because, folks, when the middle class does well, when the middle class does well, the rich do very well and the poor have hope." - Joe Biden, 2016 DNC Speech
How lucky for the poor. Apparently watching the rich live it up being rich, and watching the middle class get by, magically causes the poor to have hope.
Derrick Jensen, radical environmentalist, describes hope as "a longing for a future condition over which you have no agency. It means you are essentially powerless."
Hence why that Biden quote sounds just a bit too honest.
So the poor get a desire for something they have next to no control of achieving personally, especially in regards to becoming the mega-elite. How lucky for them.
