None of this applies. My happiness is not a viable debating plank. The issues are an entrenched underclass for whom hard work no longer is enough to move up in society, that the middle class now is being harvested, and that the beneficiaries of this harvest largely are parasitic 1% types whose inability to see what they causing proves they are undeserving of all this societal value, which just makes it worse. Not all the 1%ers fall into this category, but the points are: Underclass who are denied the American Dream, Spreading harvest, and 1% beneficiaries who can't see past the ends of their own grasping fingers. Whether/where I may fall in that spectrum is not a useful consideration at all.
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us.
"
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
