7. "I think more attention is being paid to the 'middle class'."? In what way?

Lip service is paid by some nationally known politicians to support policies to benefit the American middle class (or what's left of it). They give such lip service during the now-extended elections seasons and when they are put in a public spotlight.

But if you disregard the lip service and look at their actions, their actions don't support their words.

When there is a choice between representing the policies to benefit the rich and super-rich and representing the policies to benefit the rest of America, the nationally known politiicans (with few exceptions) choose the rich and the super-rich over and over again.

The trickle-down theory doesn't work. We are not going to get any benefit from the trickle-down theory. Many of the nationally-known politicians are and will, but we're not.
