@theashtoncohen: If Socialism Helps the Middle Class, Explain California California’s leaders claim to stand for working and middle-class people. Yet those same people are getting crushed by taxes, housing costs, gas, electricity, and the overall cost of living—and millions have decided they’re better off somewhere else. So who exactly are these policies helping?
What socialist is in charge right now? Gavin is a centrist, and Trump is a republican. What socialist are you talking about?

There are no socialist in charge. So all the current complaints are all from capitalist policies.

Everything you said is because we are in a capitalist system not a socialist system, all the taxes your talking about is under capitalism. If anything you proved capitalism doesn’t care about the middle class

trentbresler :
hate to break this to you but we're trying to tax the upper class a hell of a lot more than they're currently getting taxed.
when their tax gets cut that means the middle class has to pay a larger portion.
