The Upper Class
I made 10 mill this year as a CEO. I have so much money I don't know what to do with it. It's hypnotizing.
I inherited 50 mill from my rich grandfather. I have more than you and I never had to work a day in my life.
The Middle Class
The middle class is disappearing. The rich are getting richer, and everyone else is getting poorer.
The CEO of the company I worked at cut 10,000 jobs this year. I used to live in a nice house, drive a nice car, and go on lavish vacations. Ahh, those were the days...
The Lower Class
Is anybody going to help us?
Nope. This country is run by the rich. We're screwed.
