Examples of middle-class in a Sentence

1. Bernie Sanders:

2. Hillary Clinton:

   The money was there and had to be released in order to save the auto industry and 4 million jobs and to begin the restructuring. I voted to save the auto industry. He voted against the money that ended up saving the auto industry. I think that is a pretty big difference, given the terrible pressures that the auto industry was under and that the middle class of this state and Ohio and Indiana and Illinois and Wisconsin and Missouri and other places in the Midwest were facing, I think it was the right decision to heed what President-elect Obama asked us to do.

3. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell:

It is wrong. And it underlines the need to stand up for hard-working, middle-class coal families.

4. Pope Francis:

   You're right. It's an error of mine not to think about this, the world is polarized. The middle class becomes smaller. The polarization between the rich and poor is big. This is true. And, perhaps this has led me to not take account of this (the problems of the middle class).

5. Congressional Budget Office:

   President Trump on Monday appeared to call for changes to the Republican tax plan even as he claimed it has ‘ great support. ’ President Donald Trump tweeted that President Donald Trump wants ‘ just a few changes ’ that would help ‘ the middle class and job producers, ’ as well as small businesses that are taxed through the code for individuals. ‘ The Tax Cut Bill is coming along very well, great support, ’ the president wrote. ‘ With just a few changes, some mathematical, the middle class and job producers can get even more in actual dollars and savings and the pass through provision becomes simpler and really works well ! ’ The specific changes President Donald Trump wants, however, are unclear. President Donald Trump tweeted just hours before President Donald Trump’s expected to meet at White House with top Republican tax writers in Republican Alabama Senate. GOP leaders are aiming to advance the tax bill in the upper chamber this week in a race to get a bill on Trump’s desk by year’s end.
