The problem is that only care about the ”poor“ - those people who have done nothing to prepare themselves for a trade, and thus require other people’s money.
That is why there was such support for Trump among the lower-middle class - say, an HVAC technician with a wife who is a part-time assistant at the local school - who combined earn around $70kish. THESE form the bulk of Americans, and are the people whom the Liberals disdainfully call “morons“ (while simultaneously defending the poor welfare types of anyone calls them lazy or undisciplined).
In the upside-down world of Leftism, the low-income got rewarded with more subsidized services, and the lower-middle (or even middle) got penalized. That is why the poor people got the convenient and top-rate care at the nearby hospital ER at no charge, and I had to make the trek to an Urgent Care facility many miles away.
In Leftism, the goal is to move the lifestyle for poor people UP, and the lifestyle of middle-income people DOWN, and thus….EQUITY!!! In the case of Obamacrap, they overshot, and the poor on subsidies ended up with better care than the self-supporting middle class.
