The tribe really does matter at this point, results are the same. The deterioration of the dollar is erasing the middle class. 
 

Dino Fetterman….sounds good, means nothing 

The middle class shrinking is one of the biggest myths out there, and is used as a way for the government to intervene even more than it already does. This is only one study of many.

Yes, the Middle Class Is Shrinking—Because It's Moving Up
The real squeeze comes from government-distorted markets, not economic decline.

Funny how no one is ever accused of being a DINO. 

You could add Manchin and Gabbard to the list. Actually, I found a list that goes back to the 1850s of Dems that switched to Republicans.

So Americans making between $55k and $165k which is considered middle class are not being fazed by the inflation over the last years?

Inflation doesn’t erase an entire group of people as you claimed. But, no one said inflation wasn’t affecting folks either.

What I was stating was that politicians, pundits, and public polling don’t use actual data. Also, there’s no agreed upon definition of middle class. The people using the ‘hollowing out of the middle class’ argument just want more control—either Left, Right, Socialist, or Populist.

That should bother you. I believe you’re more of a free market type individual like myself.

Read the study. There are many more like it.
