not an easy answer, I would recommend reading "The Status Seekers" by Vance Packard, or the scaled down version (it is just selections from the book) "American Social Classes in the 1950's", edited by Daniel Horowitz

You're right, of course.  The problem here re the middle class is that Republicans & Democrats alike, have sold the middle class out.  The result is this: someday very soon, there will be only 2 classes of people--the very rich and the very poor.  There can never be a redistribution of wealth.  Why?  (I know you don't want to hear the rhetoric about Rep vs Dem, but it is there, all the same.  A Rep gets in office and gives the rich even more money by giving the rich more tax breaks.  The Dem get in office and attempt to take care of the poor (the humane thing to do).  How?  By raising taxes to ALL Americans.  Then the Rep get back in office and undo everything the Dem did.  The vicious circle that never changes and is always the same.  Now with the illegals here getting amnesty & all the benefits meant for Americans, the problem intensifies.  Never ending, never changing.  Having the illegals here actually drives down the wages of middle American and very soon, what was middle-class Americans will be a poorer class of middle Americans until there is no middle America.  How about 'hoping' there will be an independent that comes along and puts a stop to the insanity?  No more outsourcing of jobs would be a good place to start, don't you think?  And then maybe doing something about the amnesty issue.

My latest estimate was 27% mostly in urban areas.\n\nSince most of the US population is made up of peasant farmers and serfs working for the Bush or Cheney families.\n\nIt's no suprise there are still many in rural America without running water or electricity.

we are not used to quantifying the number of words necessary to function in society.\n\nif your question is any indication of your language ability, you'd do just fine. i agree that the US is about 10% immigrant, about 25% in major cities, so there is no shame in not having a "full" vocabulary.

There are poor people everywhere, regardless of nationality.  In West Germany, 3.7% of the population receives welfare, and in East Germany, 2.7% does.  Compare this to the USA where (as of the last count in 2000) was only 2.4%.  Also, according to the BBC, since the recent economic recession in Japan, poverty has risen considerably.  The unemployment rate in Japan was at 4.3% as of 2005, but the actual poverty rate was unavailable on every site I checked.

I'm not an immigrant. 85% of the U.S. population are not immigrants. Why would you ask such a stupid question?

Neither. But those who benefit from unlimited immigration of unskilled workers tend to be Republicans. \n\nFollow the money: they want cheap labor, and competition for low-end jobs keeps wages of American citizens down too.

Assuming that 5% of the population is not-heterosexual, we get 14 million out of the 281 million people living in the United States. That's a very rough estimate, but it works. (The 281 is taken from the last census, the 5% are non-heterosexual is not.)

Many followed Hitler blindly to their death. I never buy into the Propaganda machine TV news. Most working class people are no better now then when Hisbushyness was appointed by the Bias high court to his position of power. Any tax cut for average working people has been eaten alive by State and local taxes that have all went up under Republicans.  All tax cuts are also being eaten by higher fuel cost's. Most Americans will tell you that is fact. \nNow we have more Debt and bigger Government under Republicans, we also have over 2400 of Americas best dead and over 15,000 wounded because of Republicans that say yes to his Bushyness's every word.
