From someone who lived through the first wave of disruptions (agriculture going to Mexico and auto manufacturing getting disrupted by Japan/moving to Canada/Mexico) in the 1980s/1990s (earlier agreements with Canada then NAFTA), then the second disruption (textiles, light industrial, then everything going to China) in the 2000s (China most favored nation status and WTO) in a heavy industrial/ag state (Indiana) and seeing everyone they knew get wiped out over those 15-20 years... I can say the sentiment comes from the people who USED to be middle class that are no longer. The people who are middle class today are rarely the same people. |
