🇺🇲 Attack of The Middle Class, Shocking Reason Reagan Tried To Kill The Middle Class: T. Hartmann [View all]


Ronald Reagan wanted to stop the Middle Class because he believed this lie the Republicans are still selling. (1 year ago, 5:40 mins).

- Select YouTube Comments:

A large middle class stabilizes a country! The greater the disparity between rich and poor, the less stable a country.

We should be moving to a situation where the Middle Class is 80% of the population.

In the richest nation in the world not one person should be homeless or hungry people.

If America doesn't have a strong middle class it has nothing.
