'99%': Who's workingclass in America

'Workingclass' in high capitalism is everyone who's compelled to work or shall not eat or fall into debt-slavery or be foreclosed on; for capital is the power to command labour -- to impose work as a condition of life. 'Workingclass' isn't a statistical category, an income bracket, much less personal possessions or lack thereof. It is those of us who, absent income-generating assets, have no option but to work for wages. Maybe not '99%', but 90% answer to that description -- as varied (pink/white/blue collar) and un-united as we are.
