Title: Does a middle class background make it more likely for you to be right-wing

What do you think of this?

Considering the capitalist class cares only for money and greed (they'll vote for whoever will give them the most money) while the working class can be susceptible to Marxism or socialism do you think a middle-class background makes it more likely for you to be conservative?

Middle-class to me has always meant "worked hard and accomplished things', so I tend to think that middle class children are more likely to learn conservative values from their parents. Those born wealthy never have to work- their lives are more 'socialist' or 'liberal' than many think (I am entitled to...). Those born poor often see their parents work very hard but never improve their state in life- they also tend to grow up with a more 'entitlement' attitude, since life is so unfair to them. My opinion, anyways.

  I always thought the opposite: The upper class loves to be on the top, so they are against anything ''egalitarian''. also they are pleased with their high statues therefore they dislike ''changes''.
  The lower class is too limited, too absorbed in miseries and worries to have time to think.
Therefore it is the middle class who craves for more and wants to achieve what the upper class has.
