The article was addressing middle America. The woman in the article is raising two teenage boys in what looks like a suburban home.I think the implication is that middle America is losing ground. It is, and has, for many years. Minimum wage will not support families.

Regardless of party, we privatize the profits and socialize the losses. Corporatism is not party specific.

Makes me wonder why anyone thinks the two party system is useful. It isn't helping the people.

The Democrats did have the House and Senate a few years ago. Why didn't they raise the minimum wage?

Obama is good at Executive Orders. Get er done.

The whole modern world has divided itself into Conservatives and Progressives. The business of Progressives is to go on making mistakes. The business of the Conservatives is to prevent the mistakes from being corrected - G. K. Chesterton
