Class War

Has anybody else noticed a trend these days to get on your high horse if you haven't got as much money as someone else? I have, because I do it. But if you think about it, it doesn't make any fucking sense at all, because at the end of the day we'd all rather have a bit more money.
"Aaah shut up you middle-class cunt," is a popular thing to say these days, which is stupid because unless you actually live in a coal-mine and have seventeen siblings, nobody is technically working class anymore. We're all just one enormous faceless middle-class with different degrees of income, I'm afraid. And yes, having a bit more money is better, so why think you're better than somebody if you haven't got as much as them?
Consequently, I propose we go back to the far more logical old system of Victorian England when rich people gave poor people shit for having no money. If a rich person had the gall to say to me "Yeah but I'm richer than you, you absolute chimney-sweep," I'd have to say fair-play to the man, in a way. That's how capitalism works unfortunately, rich people are more important, and no I'm not going to start talking about communism because Karl Marx has a stupid beard. I think all of this is Paul Weller's fault for banging on about being working class and that and making being poor cool. Anyway, he sent his kids to private school and shit, so he can shut up. Besides, let me put it this way, who's better, Mick Jagger or Paul Weller? Clearly Mick Jagger, and he has no problem with admitting that he's from a comfortable middle-class background. It's all well and good having a go at middle-class people, but they're not as bad as a nuclear holocaust are they, so leave it out.
By the way I'm well aware of the inherent hypocrisy of this note because I fucking hate rich people too and think they should all fuck off.
