I think both sides agree on the problem of the system stomping out the "middle class", but they don't agree on the solutions.

In my opinion, the problem stems from the transfer of middle class jobs from our country into cheap/slave labor countries like China. This has led to an oversupply of job seekers and not enough jobs available to fill. Too much supply with not enough demand always leads to low prices, which we've seen through decades of stagnant wages.

The left wants to attack this problem by empowering the government to force companies to raise minimum wages and pay high taxes that will (presumably) be passed back to citizens.

The right wants to attack the problem through regulation and tax cuts to create a preferable business environment here rather than in foreign countries. Trump also attacked the problem by adding tariffs to make our domestic goods price competitive with foreign made goods.
