Both have varying success rates ofc.

2019-04-21 03:45:15 UTC  

For jobs, Democrats want to increase the minimum wage while Republicans want to cut taxes.

2019-04-21 03:46:20 UTC  

For society however, this is where the parties are currently fighting over.

2019-04-21 03:47:04 UTC  

Democrats want you to stop being poor and getting good by granting affirmative actions and regulating immoral business practices.

2019-04-21 03:47:23 UTC  

Republicans however believe that how the fuck can people get good and stop being poor because of regulation and reverse racism?

2019-04-21 03:47:39 UTC  

I'll give one good example for instance in California.

2019-04-21 03:47:59 UTC  

The Housing Market is easily imagined for the 5 classes.

2019-04-21 03:48:51 UTC  

Upper - (can afford multiple and may even rent out)
Middle-Upper - (owns a house and almost done paying it off)
Middle - (paying the house on mortgage)
Lower-Middle - (high-risk house-buyer)
Lower - (rent only)

2019-04-21 03:49:13 UTC  

Now for the upper class, the housing market in California is particularly lovely.

2019-04-21 03:49:24 UTC  

House prices are going up, thus rent prices can go up. All this money upper class people are making

2019-04-21 03:49:25 UTC  

easy

2019-04-21 03:49:41 UTC  

The middle-upper and middle enjoy this because they probably bought a house already and just paying it off.

2019-04-21 03:49:50 UTC  

However, the lower-middle and lower are fucked in the ass

2019-04-21 03:50:32 UTC  

They can't afford to buy a house given a shit house is worth a mansion in Texas and rent prices are ridiculously high.

2019-04-21 03:50:39 UTC  

So what does the majority Democrat party do?

2019-04-21 03:51:36 UTC  

On government side, they're helping the lower class by providing subsidized housing where the government will pay almost $2k/month for you to live there and be affordable for you. (the lower-middle however... some do not qualify) OR they'll sponsor a construction firm to construct low-income apartment complexes.

2019-04-21 03:51:58 UTC  

On jobs, no one is actually building any houses due to regulations made by Democrats years ago. You will need permits to "build on this area" which can take decades to do so and increases the housing cost.

2019-04-21 03:52:41 UTC  

So currently democrats are doing nothing about the job situation.

2019-04-21 03:52:50 UTC  

They're still imposing more ridiculous regulations to make house-building impossible.

2019-04-21 03:53:48 UTC  

On society however is very interesting.

2019-04-21 03:54:00 UTC  

Every politicians in California wants everyone to "afford housing"

2019-04-21 03:54:04 UTC  

yet do nothing about it.

2019-04-21 03:54:33 UTC  

They keep complaining about how some people who are qualified aren't using the low-income houses and subsidized housing.

2019-04-21 03:55:04 UTC  

But no one actually understands the lowkey workings of it.

2019-04-21 03:55:09 UTC  

Low-income houses in CA are literal shitholes

2019-04-21 03:55:35 UTC  

Just think of these low-income houses as Detroit where drug usage and gun violence is very dangerous.

2019-04-21 03:56:05 UTC  

And the problem is that these low-income houses wouldn't be a problem if we didn't stack them up next to each other like a neighborhood

2019-04-21 03:56:29 UTC  

But what affluent area would want a low-income house complex in their area?

2019-04-21 03:56:34 UTC  

It would drive them down their property prices!

2019-04-21 03:56:39 UTC  

*wink*

2019-04-21 03:57:41 UTC  

So what is Trump been doing for the dream chasing lower-middle class?

2019-04-21 03:58:04 UTC  

Cutting their taxes, decentralizing grant programs, and curbing regulations.

2019-04-21 03:58:07 UTC  

Exactly what he's been doing.

2019-04-21 03:58:25 UTC  

For people who served in the military, these people are often placed in the lower-middle class already.

2019-04-21 03:58:47 UTC  

They're not poor enough to be lower, but they're not wealthy enough to be middle.

2019-04-21 03:58:51 UTC  

And if they're not careful

2019-04-21 03:59:01 UTC  

They'll end up lower class because of their military conditioning.

2019-04-21 03:59:19 UTC  

So Trump's been trying to stop that.

2019-04-21 03:59:31 UTC  

Trump's also been trying to cut taxes by increasing your kid tax deductions.

2019-04-21 03:59:46 UTC  

1 kid being tax deducted is now worth 2 kids pre-trump tax deducted.

2019-04-21 04:00:08 UTC  

So a lot of poor families will actually see more tax returns than usual.
