Quotes About Middle Americans

So the plutocrats direct the legitimate grievances of the middle Americans toward innocent foes, and in return the middle Americans vote for the plutocrats thinking they are thereby defending their own precarious socio-economic interests.

But for the latter group, the aggrieved "Middle Americans," the experience has been a bummer all around.

~ Thomas Frank
