Question

Read the quotation from the Omaha Platform.

“The fruits of the toil of millions are boldly stolen to build up colossal fortunes for a few, unprecedented in the history of mankind; and the possessors of those, in turn, despise the republic and endanger liberty. From the same prolific womb of governmental injustice we breed the two great classes—tramps and millionaires.”

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

I believe the answer is: D. There are three economic classes: the rich, the poor, and the middle class.

The separation between these classes is based on their ownership of wealth&resources. The poor are those who barely have enough resources to keep living,

The middle class are those who can comfortably fulfil their basic needs while having a little bit of surplus that they can put into saving , while the Rich are those who had abundance of wealth & resources, to the point where they would not able to spend it in their lifetime.
