The Middle Class Disappears: Why You’re Being Priced Out | Graham Elwood

In this video, Graham Elwood examines two critical reports sent by Patreon supporter Wanda Gresham: a Digg report mapping out the staggering gap between minimum wage and housing affordability across the U.S. and a Forward Kentucky report detailing how Republican healthcare proposals (TrumpCare) would increase out-of-pocket costs for lower- and middle-income families while benefiting the wealthy. Graham discusses how stagnant wages, soaring rents, lack of healthcare, and systemic neglect by both political parties are driving economic desperation and social unrest across the country.
