It's a hell of a lot better than "peasant." Maybe you would prefer "people who have to work for a living," but that's more than a little unwieldy. And as for the caps, I tried, but not hard enough. Anyway, it was a throwaway comment for a throwaway thread, do you have to make an effort to come across as a smug twat, or does it come naturally?

All part of the racket, Andy. Credit extended to anyone and everyone - regardless. Perceived lifestyles and the obsessive need for want....the killers.

No they are not, that is something debt slaves don't understand. Reminds me of an old saying.... Gold is the money of kings, Silver is the money of gentlemen, Paper is the money of peasants and Debt is the money of slaves.
