I see the message of this article more as "the high vs low taxes game has nothing to do with the problems of the poor, it is about helping or preventing any members of the middle class to become rich". I tend to believe it. Trump shown us that the poor are so easy to manipulate into voting directly against their own interest that no one will be bothered to do much for their sake - it's not necessary at all for any politicians' goals. It's a balance of interest of rich (billionaires/centimillionaires) and middle class (the rest of the 1% or so). The rest of people are just taken along for a ride, some of them under false impression it has something to do with their interests.
