This characterization, invoked by politicians of every stripe, is disgusting to me.
I may have several commen values with all Americans.
But I am not ordinary.
And yet, because I own a small business, I work every day, I want to be invisible to the Central Authority, and I make a moderate but not remarkable income, I think I am regarded as ordinary.
To them, I imagine ordinary means that I am too stupid or uninformed to understand their ambitions to control my actions.
Every day, politicians make references to “Ordinary Americans”
Are you insulted by this, or do you obediantly conform to the label?
What exactly is an “ordinary” American?
