what's the middle class so mad about from the last 8 years? I'm in the middle of the middle class, and I think the last 8 years have been great! I'm not trying to start a debate, I genuinely want to know what they are upset about.
FWIW, I've had life changes that have strengthened my family's tax position. I got married to a low income earner, and we had 2 kids. We do just fine...
The median income is down
Number of people on food stamps has increased by 13 million
Lowest percentage of adults in the workforce in 40 years
Lowest rate of home ownership in 50 years
Skyrocketing medical costs
Skyrocketing college debts
Mealy mouth talk when Islamic terrorists kill 49 homosexuals in Florida
Importing Syrian refugees without proper screening while Saudi Arabia lectures the USA to do so and
allows none into the birthplace of Islam
No one prosecuted in banking scandals as compared to Reagan years when crooks like Charles Keating
went to jail.
Refusal to police borders as required by law, giving illegals benefits. Many cities refuse to depart (let's
see what happens if a public facility tries to institute school prayer or Christmas decorations)
Constant lectures that if you disagree with them you are automatically racist, sexist or homophobic
There is a lot about Trump I don't like. Yes he is crude. But the Democrats made him possible by savagely attacking more decent men like Bush, McCain and Romney. Some kind of pushback was inevitable...and it's interesting that the riots, beating of people, teachers walking out of class (yup, we really care about teaching) never happened when Obama or Clinto were elected.
