15. what does "Strengthen" mean?

Edited on Thu Dec-28-06 01:38 AM by Perragrande

"Strengthen the middle class"??

What about those of us who are overqualified, overeducated and FELL OUT of the middle class because we couldn't find jobs in the 90s??? Me and my Incredibly F***ing Goddamned Useless Doctorate Degree.

What does that mean? I'd like to know. I know the minimum wage has to be raised, and all that, but what is he going to do about all the good middle class jobs that disappeared???

Protectionism and tariffs? Repealing NAFTA? White collar unions? That's the only answer I can come up with.

This includes AGE DISCRIMINATION as well. I'm sure he's well aware of that, being a plaintiff's lawyer.
