Democrats speak for the "Middle Class" - who speaks for the "Poor"?

43. Not correct

The middle class floated on top of the true working class and consisted of upper managers and professions like doctor, lawyer, architect. They weren't paycheck to paycheck like the working class but could afford things like household help, traveling to hotels instead of tents, putting their offspring through college, and investing for retirement. Working class people relied on pensions, instead, pensions that often died when the worker did, leaving a spouse in poverty.

The New Deal expanded the middle class to include middle management, top unionized earners, and owners of small businesses. Even the better paid working class could at last aspire to owning their own homes, at least, making retirement on a fixed pension a bit easier.

Now we're pretty much working class, working poor, and underclass, no matter what we do for a living, people creating paper profits for the ultra rich the only ones capable of meeting middle class bills, except their usual working life is rather short.
