Why America's Middle Class is Suffering
from Politech
The American middle class was once the backbone of economic stability and opportunity—but today, it’s being squeezed from every direction. In this episode, we break down why wages haven’t kept up with the cost of living, how housing, healthcare, and education became unaffordable, and what policy choices helped create the pressure millions of families feel every day. We explore the real data behind inflation, corporate consolidation, tax policy, and labor trends—cutting through political talking points to focus on how these forces impact everyday Americans. From young professionals to retirees, this conversation looks at who’s hurting, why it’s happening, and what realistic solutions could actually rebuild the middle class.
