	The myth of the middle class
	The term “middle class” refers to how an individual feels about himself in relation to society. The term is useful for discussing values: working for a living, participating in community affairs, helping the poor, being law-abiding. There is no standard definition of the middle class, but it is definitely not an economic term.
