    There are plenty of people that don’t consider themselves poor or who most people would not consider poor who are still in the labor class. If you produce value more than extract value from ownership then you are labor class.

      Most poor people don’t consider themselves poor because it is considered a terrible thing to be poor.

      That doesn’t make them right. That just makes them less poor than those that are dirt poor.

      If you’re not floating around on a yacht then you’re comparatively poor. They can afford things these so called rich people you talk about could never afford.
