This goes back decades now with politicians on both the right and left claiming to support “middle class tax cuts” and nobody asks “how do you define ‘middle class’?”
"House Republicans issued a fact sheet about their new tax cut plan that referred to Americans earning $450,000 a year as “low- and middle-income”—even though that income level would put those taxpayers in the top 0.5 percent of all individual Americans.
The median household income in the United States is $59,039, after all."
I’m very disappointed that nobody in the media bothers with follow up questions.
“The economy is booming!”
“For who?” For Joe ‘I own a yacht’ Manchin? Yeah, I’m sure it is.

They’re so fucking out of touch. Man.
Everything is working as intended.
