Middle Class Perception

I found it very interesting in the "Aristotle on Democracy" how the middle class was addressed. I never realized that a happy medium is so important and so beneficial. In a time of complete class rule, the middle class was never up to par compared to upper class, but in the end the middle class had it all. Both ends of the spectrum have their down falls. Upper and lower classes find it "difficult to find rational priniciple". The middle class doesn't have to worry about parishing, while they don't have to worry about the security of being wealthy. The "middle class is least likely to shrink rule......they are most secure in state." The beauty of a democracy is that the middle class, along with the upper and lower classes are supported. The benefits outweigh any downfalls that it has to offer.
