To set the record straight, the “working class” is generally defined as ……. oh wait, are we talking jobs, skill level, income or what? No matter, I just Googled it and saw just about any definition I wanted to use.
I wonder how Old Bernie defines working class? If it’s based on income, he’s suggesting a 30% to 50% increase in income based on no criteria whatsoever, least of all need.
Can’t figure this guy out.

You can learn all you need to know about Trump, Bernie, Biden and the stimulus by looking back, just a little bit, to Edmund Burke – 220+ years ago. Simply, nothing changes.

“… But when the leaders choose to make themselves bidders at an auction of popularity, their talents, in the construction of the state, will be of no service. They will become flatterers instead of legislators; the instruments, not the guides of the people. If any of them should happen to propose a scheme of liberty, soberly limited, and defined with proper qualifications, he will be immediately outbid by his competitors, who will produce something more splendidly popular. Suspicions will be raised of his fidelity to his cause. Moderation will be stigmatized as the virtue of cowards, and compromise as the prudence of traitors; until, in hopes of preserving the credit which may enable him to temper and moderate on some occasions, the popular leader is obliged to become active in propagating doctrines, and establishing powers, that will afterwards defeat any sober purpose at which he ultimately might have aimed. …”
