“As far as the working class goes, they almost universally have one thing in common; they aspire to reach a higher, more comfortable status themselves.”

“The working Class” these days is a memory, mostly. It has been overtaken by the subsidized class. Why make more money when doing so reduces or eliminates some bennies i.e. the “earned income” credit goes down almost proportional to income. Food stamps reduce by income (reported) too. There are a host of other benefits that are income based plus on the other end, earn a lot, pay a high progressive rate. Industriousness has been eroded beyond repair till the final wake up call.

Also, put in a few exemption removals targeting Hollywood.

“How does the GOP fight a populist, tax the rich proposal by Obama?”

By asking what happened to the first 600 billion Obama was given for his shovel ready projects.
