But it's not because "the lower class is growing." This article shows that it's actually because "the upper middle class is growing" – and very rapidly. "As a representative of the "upper lower middle class," I want to suggest that we in the bottom 68% really need to think about what this means, and build bridges with that group, because they, perhaps even more than the 1% because of their relatively greater numbers, are a huge barrier to a more equitable society."
