The Five-Step Process to Cheat the Middle Class Worker

[harmonicon]

12. "prole chips"

This is what a huge number of people can't seem to grasp. While we can talk about a worker's wage in terms of dollars, and the economy at large in terms of dollars, these are not the same things.

Workers are paid in prole chips, and they can use their chips for things like housing, cars, and entertainment. While someone may get $30,000 of chips in a year, this is not the equivalent of 1% of $3,000,000, and even less than 0.01% of $30,000,000 because what the money can actually be used for is completely different. While the $ symbol is the same, the actual function of the money is completely different.

However, one way this system is kept in place is by duping a majority of the people who are payed in prole chips to thinking that they're a part of some "middle class" which does not exist. Functionally, there no longer is a middle class. There is a tiny percentage of those at the top and the proletariat. If we refuse to face this basic truth, we're fucked.
