Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., has served in the U.S. Senate for less than two years, but her message of economic populism and boosting the middle class has catapulted her to stardom with Democrats nationwide.
In her new book, "A Fighting Chance," Warren reflects on growing up in a middle-class family in Oklahoma and shares how that upbringing shaped her mission to help struggling middle-class families.
“I wrote this book out of gratitude. I am the daughter of someone who ended up as a maintenance man, a woman who worked a minimum-wage job at Sears. And I ended up in the United States Senate because I grew up in an America that was investing in kids, that was building a strong middle class,” she said. “We're not doing that anymore. And Washington isn't working for families. It's working for big corporations. It's working for billionaires, not for families. And so this is just the continuation of my work. I wrote 'A Fighting Chance' because that's what I want every kid to have.”

Middle class. We should stop using any term that includes the word class. It’s a collectivist wedge.
Back then, high schoolers were more knowledgeable than most of today’s college graduates...we also had an industrial base that was located in AMERICA, not China, Vietnam, Japan or Mexico. Princess Fauxahontas should ask a union guy to explain what happened /s
Just goes to show you that in America, even a marxist liar can be elected to Congress, or the White House, or both.
Don’t forget barefoot in the snow in July.
