Behind the Poll
There are a few key policies that President Biden has enacted that are meant to help the middle class. One is increasing the minimum wage to $15 an hour. Another is providing paid parental leave. And he has also proposed free community college and increasing taxes on the wealthy to pay for it. All of these policies would help to increase the standard of living for middle-class Americans.
However, there are some who believe that these policies will actually hurt the middle class. They argue that raising the minimum wage will lead to businesses hiring fewer employees, and that free community college will decrease the value of a four-year degree. They also believe that increasing taxes on the wealthy will hurt the economy as a whole and lead to less job creation.
So, what is the truth? Will Biden’s policies help or hurt the middle class? Only time will tell. But what we do know is that the middle class is struggling and needs all the help it can get. Hopefully, these policies will be a step in the right direction.
