Why is this government so insensitive to the concerns of the middle-class people?

It's the middle class that feels the luxury of being able to have causes.

Both chronic, long-term poverty and downward mobility from the middle class are in the same category of things that America likes not to think about.

Real Democrats don't abandon the middle class.

I just think the whole discussion of class is wrong. It's not what we do here in America. I don't think there's anything called 'middle class values' that are different from the values of other people in this country.

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.

Democrats don't relate to middle-class people.

But I don't think the Democratic Party is at eye level with the middle class.
