How Democrats abandoned the working class and spurred rise of Donald TrumpKyle Smith March 12, 2016
Inequality has risen. Jobs are going overseas. The more the stock market rises, the more the working class feels crushed by globalization.
And all of this has occurred exactly as Democrats have engineered it. Stuff happens, they say. The truth hurts.
Take it from Larry Summers, once one of President Obama’s leading economic advisers: “One of the challenges in our society is that the truth is kind of an equalizer,” Summers reportedly said in a candid moment in 2009. “One of the reasons that inequality has probably gone up in our society is that people are being treated closer to the way that they’re supposed to be treated.” (Summers this week denied saying this.)
The elite professional class, in the 1950s one of the Republican party’s most reliable constituencies, became the very heart of the Democrats by the 1990s. The party of labor morphed into the party of lawyers. This didn’t happen by accident.
