Our nation is mostly made up of middle class working Americans striving to receive help for their problems and even achieve better life styles than they currently have. Our politicians work to help achieve this goal but it can be hard to take them seriously when they talk from a higher income level. I recently read an article about this going even more in depth on the issue of rising expenses with stagnant wages and how our upper class politicians don't exactly know how to fix a problem they don't truly understand. I can only assume that this articles audience is primarily middle class as the issues discussed would only interest someone in the middle class. These problem don't pertain strictly to money either, many of the issues that middle class Americans face every day require different laws that affect different things.
In the article the author talks about Florida Senior Marco Rubio and his solution to helping middle class with increase child tax credit and lower cost online education. These solutions seem so narrow to solving the grand scheme of middle class problems and the author equates this to a temporary solution of the main problems for the middle class. The author also argues that most Americans see middle class as different things explaining why lawmakers put the threshold of middle class a little higher. While I agree with why they would raise the threshold I don't see why that makes a difference in how people view them.
Overall the author seems logical and credible in his article, bringing in examples and real life situations showing how his points relate to what is actually going on around us.
