Those aren't the underpaid blue collar workers.
American capitalism is failing Trump's base as white working-class 'deaths of despair' rise
Free-market capitalism has brought progress throughout history. It has lifted millions of people out of poverty around the world. But it is not working for less educated Americans today. While those with four-year college degrees have prospered over the last half-century, those without have seen their wages fall, their communities and marriages weakened and their labor markets turn against them, and worst of all, they have experienced an epidemic of what we
christened deaths of despair, from suicide, drug overdose and alcoholic liver disease and cirrhosis.
In 2018, more than 158,000 Americans died from these causes, up from 65,000 in 1995, with increases that are similar for men and women.
And this is specifically happening to white men AND women. Not just white men. White men AND women. White and uneducated being the common factors.
I'm talking about former union workers who will never make what they made before you sent their high paying union jobs overseas.
And remember in the 2000's you attacked these lazy overpaid uneducated white union workers.
