Liberal Democrats are waging war against America, hurting middle-class Americans most.

Since President Biden took office, every major policy imposed on the country has had far more deleterious effects on America’s middle and lower classes than on the rich because the elitist Democrats and their rich corporate and celebrity contributors are shielded from the pain of inflation, urban crime, failed public schools and out-of control illegal immigration.

High-level government bureaucrats don’t feel the pain at the pump because they have government cars or fuel allowances, and celebrities and corporate execs can “expense” their costs. They have armed bodyguards or gated communities to shield them from crime, their kids are in private schools and illegals don’t take their jobs.

Middle- and lower-class folks spend a far larger portion of their pay on essentials. Many are now resorting to wood-burners or even coal stoves to heat their homes. High mortgage rates cause people to pay more for their homes or rent. Illegal immigration gives elitists cheap labor while middle-class Americans get laid off.

Now Biden is hiring 87,000 new IRS employees, many of whom will likely go after “gig-economy” participants, with banks now required to report any transaction of $600 or more to lead them to the small-fry working for cash.

The new Democrats don’t seem to care; they know their voters will keep electing them because they can blame some Republican for the problem, and the media backs them up. Open your eyes, voters, especially young, college-educated folks: The Dems are killing your future.
