Thanks for this post. I'm upper middle class, and it hasn't really occurred to me that those who identify as working class might be under represented here. But in my opinion having people from every class, not just the middle class, makes for a much better online community.
Working class friends I have can smell anything fake or pretentious a mile away.
So, for what it may be worth, I"m really glad you're a member on this site @ghettophilosopher

Full time work should pay a living wage. Period.

I think that you are right when you talk about it being middle class, however there are people here from working class background too. I somehow don't think that there any rich people here.

Well shucks! I had to look up what middle income was. Pew says over $40,000. If that's true I'm not anywhere close. Lower income here. Before you asked I thought I was pretty well off.

I concur! It's also very white & American!

I would say you're right about it being mostly middle class on this site, at least from what I've seen. Personally, I kind of straddle the line. I went to work in a factory right out of high school, and then had a lot of other physical labor jobs over the next 4 or 5 years. I went to night school for electronics, and left for California after a couple of years of that, and lucked into a job in the computer industry. Since then I'm decidedly middle class.

Yes i agree with you. You can tell when someone is middle class by the vacations they take cost more then a used truck.

well, no, since i am poor and living on social security disability, food stamps and medicaid, no, o don't see this skewing at all.
