it's always made sense to talk about the middle class exclusively, for both sides. Republicans talk about the middle class and then enrich their wealthy friends. Democrats used to talk about the middle class and then enact policies that helped the poor folk join the middle class. Now Democrats also talk about the middle class and then enrich their wealthy friends.

I don't really give a good goddamned hell who he talks about, we need to start governing like Democrats again. That includes addressing poverty, something no Democratic president has done since Carter and no Democratic president has done well since LBJ.
