People feel these job-killing trade agreements have really squeezed the middle class and caused lots of people to lose their middle-class status.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The real people who suffer when business is leaving or not successful are the people in the middle class.
Middle-class people worry a lot about money. They worry a lot about job security, and they do a lot of nine-to-five stuff.
The middle class has just fallen further and further behind the rich.
Right now, America's middle class is struggling to meet their basic needs.
The American middle class always wants to be upper class and is scared to death of being lower class. It's a highly mobile group of people. They're not like the people that want to be shopkeepers forever, have always been shopkeepers and want always to be shopkeepers. These people mostly are insulted by being called middle class.
The middle class creates us rich people, not the other way around.
Middle class jobs prevent crime and violence.
Unfair trade deals like the North American Free Trade Agreement eviscerated good-paying manufacturing jobs, putting more than 3 million U.S. workers out of work.
Unfair trade agreements, passed by both Republicans and Democrats, have sent millions of jobs to other countries. We need to stop this hemorrhaging and find ways for American workers to compete in the new market.
The jobs aren't going away. They're bringing in people to replace Americans in those jobs. And this Trans-Pacific Trade Partnership, it makes it worse.
