Rick Santorum: ‘There Are No Classes In America’
When talk turned to the economy and health care during Saturday night’s New Hampshire debate, presidential hopeful Rick Santorum made a rather noteworthy observation regarding Americans. Santorum said that he shrinks from the term “middle class.”
Why? Here’s how he put it:
RELATED: Mitt Romney Says People Who Fall Into Poverty Are ‘Still Middle Class’
The Governor [Mitt Romney] used a term earlier that I shrink from, and it’s one that I don’t think we should be using as Republicans: “Middle class.” There are no classes in America. We’re a country that don’t allow for titles. We don’t put people in classes. Maybe middle income people. But the idea, somehow or another, that we’re going to buy into the class warfare arguments of Barack Obama is something that should not be part of the Republican lexicon. That’s their job. Divide. Separate. Put one group against another. That’s not the language I’ll use as president.
