I am a S.O.B. (son of a butcher). I see every issue through the eyes of my beloved butcher father David Root. That's how I knew Donald Trump would win the election when few others did.
It's because I clearly see the attack on middle class America. I see the dramatic decline of middle class America. I understand the pain of middle class America. I've written many books about it- including "The Murder of the Middle Class" and "Angry White Male."
I knew Trump's words and prescriptions would resonate with working class and middle class Americans in terrible pain and decline from the policies of President Obama.
A few days ago, I received a note from a fan of "WAR Now", my national radio and television shows. This note from a formerly middle class mother says it all. The middle class has lost hope.
This plea from "Mary Rose" perfectly describes the plight of working and middle class Americans with work ethic...who were taught personal responsibility...who do not want to accept handouts from government...who refuse to live on welfare and food stamps.
Yet they are shocked, sickened and discouraged to witness other Americans- even illegal aliens- happily and enthusiastically living a much better life with EBT cards, food stamps and "free everything" from government.
This is what "progressive," socialist, big government policies have done to our great American middle class. This is what eight long years of Obama, Obamacare, big taxes, big government spending, big deficit and debt, mounds of regulations, green energy lies, frivolous lawsuit abuse, IRS attacks, open borders and "welfare for everyone" has done to our formerly high standard of middle class living.
I hope President Trump and at least a few Republican politicians hear her plea. Because for the middle class, it's not getting better, it's getting worse.
Here is Mary Rose's plea for help:
Dear Wayne,
My name is Mary Rose. I live right outside of "corrupt Chicago.
I am 59 years old. I had the honor of talking to you on WAR Now your Newsmax TV show last week, two days in a row.
Long story short, I have been a 1000% supporter of our great, Honorable President Donald J. Trump from day one.
I am by no means, asking for pity. i just wanted to tell you, we used to be middle class, now ex-middle class.
My husband is now 60, and a hard working truck driver, with bad knees, who makes $17.50 an hour.
For the last eight years, we could not afford my husbands health insurance at work anymore, it was too expensive, he gets paid every two weeks, it was almost at the point, with all the taxed to death taxes taken out, and health insurance, it almost came to, where we owed my husbands work money.
I had to go with the "failed Obamacare. I am a stay at home mother. Even though my life as I knew it, was over on Sept. 17, 2014 at 11:44 pm, when my beloved only son, "my angel, Ricky Jr." only 32 yrs old, passed away, suddenly.
We also have a beautiful almost 29 year old daughter, "Rosina" who is special needs .
I know everyone has a cross to bare, yet at this point in our lives, we can't afford to live anymore- I could not even pay the $800.00 failed Obamacare bill this month.
I am a proud American, and really a nobody, but I always said I wanted to write a book, I didn't care if anyone read it. If they did, they would have thought it was fiction. In reality, everything I would have written, is the truth.
When my son passed away, which for whatever life I have left is over anyway, at his funeral, I spoke with my boy laying in a casket, and I said I always wanted to write a book but there will be no book, losing my boy, my Ricky, my heart, that was the last chapter, there will be no book. that was the end.
I am sorry for babbling on, I just wanted to thank you for speaking up for us, the forgotten middle class.
"Thank you" you are a good, kind, stand-up man. and you say it like it is. I pray things will soon change for the better. We have no savings- nothing, in fact, I could not even go grocery shopping this week, we get no help from the government, never have.
Sometimes I wonder, why?
We used to live just regular (middle class). Now, we are one paycheck away from being homeless. It's not fair When I go grocery shopping, just for basic living items, I have to count my items to make sure I have enough money.
What really gets me is, most of the time waiting to check out, the person in front of me, has three carts of food, goodies, and pays with a debit card. There are many illegal aliens where I live, and they load their groceries in a brand new "big" SUV my car is 38 years old. I just don't get it. Well, again I'm sorry for babbling on
And I am so, so glad for you. You have compassion for us- the forgotten ex-middle class, the ones that do the right things, work hard yet, in my opinion, because of Barack Obama, killing the middle class (now the ex-middle class), living week to week, one paycheck from being homeless. always worrying, whats next?
Keep up the good work, youre the best, you really are. I thank you with all my heart, now a forever broken heart.
I look forward everyday to have the honor to watch your wonderful Newsmax TV show. Heres the 1000% truth- you are our voice, and I am so, so, grateful. Thank you, thank you.
May G-d bless you, and all your family always."
Truly yours, thank you.
My "angel Ricky Jr.'s forever heartbroken mom, Mary Rose"
I feel the same way....................
The Marxists have always blamed the middle class for preventing their beloved revolution of the proletariat. As such their primary goal is the destruction of the middle and an ensuing revolution. We saw this pretty dramatically with Obama. They want only two classes - the elitist masters and everyone else.
IMHO the source of all oligarch social-engineering and rent-skimming in the economy comes from our centrally-controlled, fiat, unbacked money supply.
Banks and government get the massive amounts of newly printed money first - which gives them a huge advantage to control everyone and everything else.
“The Marxists have always blamed the middle class for preventing their beloved revolution of the proletariat. As such their primary goal is the destruction of the middle and an ensuing revolution.”
Yes. The Frankfurt School ran up against it and recognized it as the cause of their defeat to spark revolution in the Unites States. So it got busy.
The history of humanity who turn away from God is a history of misery.
Without God, it is fine to lie and cheat and steal.
It is OK to murder.
The harshest reality is that without God, people think that it is OK to enslave you.
If enslaving you helps them, then they’re fine with it.
Having spent time overseas in several places the two tierd society is exactly what they want.
bottom Tier....they get paid about $400/month (at the top end). They live in dorm style housing. The are from elsewhere in the third world and are there on work visas.
They are construction workers, servants, and every other type of service job, which includes Private Security.
Top Tier.... Executives, large business owners, and old family money. They hire the $400/ month either in their businesses or as servants, chauffeurs, teachers, and Security.
The two classes rarely mix except in the business areas. The wealthy live in private compounds that are walled of and have their own services and security. Said security is pretty much able to do whatever is necessary to protect the client without any legal ramifications for excessive use of force, etc. The bottom classes occupy most places, and they are relatively safe because nobody has anything more than you anyway, so there is no point. Everything has bars on it and looks like a jail except in the wealthy enclaves.
Wow. My name. Not quite my story. Lost one of my son’s a month ago. I’ll never be the same. We’re retired. Not eating dog food yet but when I read about someone getting $15 mil! Crazy.
If the politicians cared to find out they’d be surprised at how many people in this country are just like the letter writer. I know a few of them myself. Of course their answer would be, and is, to take more money from them to up the hand outs.
I think it’s a long road back and probably a lost cause. Sad.
Hugs to you. And a prayer for you.
I am so sorry.
ObamaCare was designed specifically to financially devastate the middle class and transfer it's wealth to the welfare class and illegal aliens. Once the middle class is completely bled and ObamaCare collapses, the middle class will be entrapped in the de facto tyranny of a government run, political spoils oriented single payer system that favors everyone except the hard working, productive middle class workers who flat the system.
ObamaCare is working as planned
“One paycheck from being homeless”... is the long time “compassionate” (misnamed) “progressive” plan for ALL of us! Obama’s/Democrat’s destruction of the American way of life was NO ACCIDENT!!!
Logic 101 dictates we look at the conditions of the countries that they come from, and we find they are cesspools of corruption, crime, violence, theft, rape, filth, pollution, and backwardness.
Yet, this is the "diversity" we are told to embrace.
The Left is sitting on a powder keg smoking a cigar.

People would be stunned to know how many taxpaying Americans are having trouble putting food on their table. What a thrill to be able to go to the grocery store after weeks and months of just scraping by...and these BASTARDS in Congress won’t repeal the bill that is crippling so many Americans.
Trump won because, the working/middle class has learned (misnamed) progressive policies all seek to diminish the freedom and property of the individual fact! Totally anti-middle class!
Karl Marx/Lenin/Stalin/Mao/Castro/Obama/Hillary hate the bourgeois (aka: middle class), as they know they were preventing the great socialist revolution because they are independent minded, distrustful of authority and just wanna be left the hell alone! Thus they are difficult to manage.
ALL socialist revolutions once in power actively seek to destroy the independent (private sector) middle class. Look at any socialist country the only middle class are the public sector workers/bureaucrats and faux academics whose job is to oppress their fellow citizens and force the collective on ALL! The progressive vision of the middle-class (serfs) is the rationing of everything (food, fuel, healthcare et.al.) and disarm the general populace so all facets of life can require permits, licenses, fees, confiscatory taxes and strangling regulations!
She's complaining about not being able to pay the bills, but she doesn't work? I'm all for stay at home moms, but at some point you gotta go to work. Poor hubby busting his ass, and all she does is sit at home on hers playing poor me. Sad.
Butchers do it with more meat.
My family and I have lived this woman’s story. In fact, it’s only been a few years since clawed our way back into the so-called middle class, which for us, merely means being able to own a home and pay our basic bills. We still have no savings, no retirement, no health care, or any investments.
And yeah...I voted for Trump for all those reasons.
