Middle class wages have been stagnating because Democrats are opening the floodgates to immigration from third world countries. Any other claims are attempts to deflect from the issue. Almost all new jobs created in this country go to immigrants. Only a sleazy scumbag Democrat would deny it.
Only an ignorant punk would bellow your bombastic Horse shit
This is somebody who knows a lot more than you dummy boy

The Political Roots of Widening Inequality
FRIDAY, MAY 1, 2015
For the past quarter-century I’ve offered in articles, books, and lectures an explanation for why average working people in advanced nations like the United States have failed to gain ground and are under increasing economic stress:
Put simply, globalization and technological change have made most of us less competitive. The tasks we used to do can now be done more cheaply by lower-paid workers abroad or by computer-driven machines.
My solution—and I’m hardly alone in suggesting this—has been an activist government that raises taxes on the wealthy, invests the proceeds in excellent schools and other means people need to become more productive, and redistributes to the needy. These recommendations have been vigorously opposed by those who believe the economy will function better for everyone if government is smaller and if taxes and redistributions are curtailed.
