How have they helped any working class member in the last decade?

Either you're trolling or just don't know much. How have they helped the working class? In the last decade? Well, That would put us at Obamas final year, four years of trump and four of Biden.

We do this all the time, and it's just a pose for some people to sniff at and claim it's nothing, but they don't know shit. It's not nothing by a long shot.
