	Encyclopedia: Middle class
		The expansion of the phrase "middle class" in the United States appears to have been predicated in the 1970s by the decline of labour unions and the entrance of formerly domestic women into the public work force.
		In the United States, and in the United Kingdom, politicians typically target the votes of the middle classes.
		Here the middle class is defined by a similar income level as semi-professionals, or business owners; by a shared culture of domesticity and sub-urbanity; and, by a level of relative security against social crisis in the form of socially desired skill or wealth.

	Encyclopedia: Class in the United States, circa 2004
		For many individuals, social class is more a matter of self-identification in terms of how the person views his or her relationship to society, particularly along the most fuzzy borders, like that between "middle class" and "upper-middle class".
		Individuals within this class typically make between $75,000 and $200,000 per year, though individuals with smaller incomes but valuable cultural capital (such as graduate and professional students) are sometimes included, as would be a well_to_do "stay_at_home" homemaker who declines occupational work by choice.
		Class delineations are sometimes considered artificial—formal class membership does not exist, and people rarely think of themselves, in any meaningful way, as members of a specific class.

	Middle class - Encyclopedia.WorldSearch (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Some of modern theories of political economy consider a large middle class to be a beneficial, stabilizing influence on society, because it has neither the posited explosive revolutionary tendencies of the lower class, nor the stultifying greedy tendencies of the upper class.
		The middle class is colloquially used in English to refer to highly paid white collar workers and their families - and this often means those with a professional qualification.
		The expansion of the phrase in the United States appears to have been predicated in the 1970s by the decline of labor unions, the entrance of formerly domestic women into the public adult work force, and the naming and blaming of the underclass in the slums.

	Middle class (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		In the developed world, industrialization eventually caused the middle class to swell at the expense of the lower, so that by the middle of the 20th century it constituted a majority.
		As the swollen middle class lost its distinctive usefulness as a label, observers invented sub-labels: we often detect in contemporary societies an "upper middle class" and a "lower middle class".
		A modern threat to the middle class is downsizing in many sectors of the American economy, and the systematic elimination of unionized labor.

		Situated amongst New York State’s Finger Lakes region, Watkins Glen, despite its remote location, was amongst the most popular circuits on the F1 calendar.
		Watkins Glen, for all of its good qualities, simply hadn’t the cache to compete with other F1 glamour spots, and, ultimately, whether stated or not, the circuit’s safety issues were rendered secondary to the track’s remote, bucolic locale, lack of hotels, and hoards of drunken fans.
		Thus, Watkins Glen was lifted from the path of the F1 circus and the USGP became an orphan.

		Best in the sketch format, Ben Stiller is as good as he has been in years as the messianic, pathetic Goodman, who's addicted enough to food that he zaps himself with a car battery whenever his thoughts stray to donuts and is eventually discovered masturbating with a slice of pizza.
		Dodgeball is a barometer of the United States circa 2004: provincial, deluded, mired in a time where a ballistic defense system seems like a better idea than disarmament and "optimism" has become the only politics that matter.
		It's wise enough about itself and the world that a late treasure chest full of happiness is labelled "deus ex machina," and it manages to stay silly enough in its crotch-shot theatrics to be hilarious without--save one unfortunate gag about a fat cheerleader--contradicting the intelligence that drives its satire with a steady, sure hand.
