Middle-Class Americans Are Sick of Elite Privilege

The elite get all the breaks and are shown all the shortcuts.

No matter how noxious he was personally-and despite the irony that he was a perfect example of elite privilege-Trump embodied the country's desire to hit back.

The Washington elite claimed that the country needed to neutralize Saddam Hussein's weapons of mass destruction.

The nation's banking elite had lent billions to home buyers without any realistic hope of making good on their debts.

Even after being bailed out, the nation's banking executives never faced any real consequences.

Once again, the middle class was called to bail out the elites who were responsible for the mess while the elites got off scot-free.

The middle class was once again expected to foot the bailout while the execs kept on like it had never happened.
