Ed Asner Sounds Off on Republicans: They Want to Destroy the Middle Class

What group of people do you think misinterpret our Constitution the most?

The NRA is the worst offender. The Republican Party basically uses it to advance their own agenda, often at the expense of their own members. For example: a government needs to collect taxes in order to survive, but the recently passed tax bill in the Senate is so tilted towards the rich and corporations that some industry leaders, like the head of the largest coal company in America, predict it will bankrupt them.

What do you think the Democratic Party needs to do to take back Congress?

It needs to draw more attention to Republican discrepancies: what Republicans are doing to hurt anyone who isn’t rich, and emphasize how the laws they’re proposing are actually meant to destroy the middle class!

Middle class manufacturing jobs have been exported by the top 1% abroad for many years. They are greedy bastards and could not care less about the middle class.
