I don't think taking money out of your taxes can fix the larger problem. But it's a yuuuge problem when over 40% of workers are the underclass. That's bad for society. The Republicans have never cared. The Democrats care, but don't have the wherewithal to do much about it. Who knows, maybe your wife is the one who voted right! Trump isn't a Republican, and he doesn't owe them anything. If he does something good, the Democrats will be on board because it's good, and the Republicans won't have to obstruct it, because the Democrats didn't present it. The loose cannon has to roll somewhere... Maybe he'll decide a country with no middle class is bad for his business.
