I don’t think that it makes the case that the wealthy are using the poor. Instead I think that he assumes that we already know about how the poor are being used and seeks to bring out the realities of this injustice. His information deals with the myths and realities of life for those in different classes. Mantsios also has a large section of his paper devoted to explaining how class level, gender, and race change a person place in life.
I think that there are few other interpretations of the text. Maybe the information could be shown as proof that the upper class uses the under classes. Another interpretation of the text could be an example of the darker nature of American capitalism. The more affluent classes have such a better standing in life that it is easy to see how this text could be seen as a criticism of our country.
