If there was anything I could teach to a low information voter it would be that inflation is a tax on the poor. We all know it is more than 8%, they simply redefine the items used for the count.
...the other aspect is; it will still be lost on many that raising the minimum wage only helps in the very short term - then the economy adjusts and they’re back with the same problem. Except this time we paid people not to work and printed the money at the same time.
I can’t imagine being a young parent making very little and seeing gas & food prices shoot up like this. Yes, it hurts them the most. Nobody in D.C. represents them. They’re all a bunch of elitist ideologues that only care about how their virtue signaling is seen by others while they “save the planet” by imposing insane policies. I bought oil stocks when Biden was sworn in - I knew oil was going to skyrocket, it had to - the cost of “green energy” was relatively too high...made a bundle.
