The Working Class and Poor don't stand a chance anymore.
When is the last time you heard a celebrity Democrat praise FDR and the New Deal,
or LBJ and the Great Society, War on Poverty and Civil Rights.

That our new Party Leadership has chosen to abandon those values I worked for most of my life,
---the Values that made the Democratic Party GREAT ,.
----the economic/trade policies that protected the American Working Class
----The Economic Policies (Trickle UP) that built the largest, wealthiest, and most upwardly mobile Working Class the World has ever seen.
