"Working" Americans

I heard a blurb on the news the other day about Barack Obama speaking to a group of "working" Americans.

It suddenly dawned on me how the media has commandeered the use of a term and redefined it as they please. "Working" Americans. What does that bring to mind for you? For me, I get images of Joe Sixpack wearing blue coveralls with dirty hands. Or a miner with a black face. Or a waitress.

A man in a cubicle? Executive sitting on the top floor? No.

And why is this? I guess I've been brainwashed. They apparently want you to believe that the lower and lower/middle classes are the only ones doing any real work. They're the only "working" Americans.

Not that I hold anything against anyone doing any of the aforementioned jobs for a living, of course. But it's interesting to me how the socialist media tries to incite class warfare to accomplish their agenda.
