It really is the greatest politic-term ever. It's so vague, yet it's positive and everyone thinks they're part of it. Pandering to the "middle class" is probably like 95% of the population (whether they're actually middle class or not).
This could very well be why I don't really care about fiscal policies. As a single, childless male, making under $45k/year, who does not belong to a visible minority, nor owns a home he will be renovating, there is dick all for me in any of three fiscal platforms. Well except the Greens, who are promising to wipe my student down the line. So it makes a lot more sense for someone like me to focus on social issues.
