Georgia Middle Class ‘Buried’ Under Barrow’s Toxic Policies, Define Success as Not Falling Behind
Debilitating Uncertainty Has Georgia Workers Fearing Fate of Future Generations
WASHINGTON — A recent survey highlights how middle class families believe they are “struggling to advance” under President Obama’s failed economy. This comes as no surprise as even Vice President Joe Biden admitted on the campaign trail that John Barrow’s big-government policies have “buried” Georgia families and small business owners in unacceptably high unemployment, leaving them with little faith in the direction of the economy.
“John Barrow won’t get government out of the way of economic growth and Georgia workers are suffering for it,” said NRCC Communications Director Paul Lindsay. “Georgians are finished with funding Barrow’s taxing, spending and borrowing policies that are ruining any opportunity for growing the economy.”
In a new report, middle class families are “struggling to advance” under Washington Democrats’ leadership:
“A majority of Americans now define success as not falling behind. They worry that fundamental changes in the economy are making it more difficult for them—and their children—to get ahead.” (Ronald Brownstein, “Struggling to Advance,” National Journal, 9/28/2012)
Vice President Biden admitted what the American middle class already knew – that his party has buried them in economic hardships:
“’This is deadly earnest. How they can justify … raising taxes on the middle class that has been buried the last four years?’ [said Biden].” (Patricia Zengerle, “Biden: U.S. Middle Class ‘Buried the Last Four Years,’” Reuters, 10/2/2012)
