Actually no, they may say they want to cut taxes on the middle class but most of the tax rates they have passed hit the middle class more than any other group, ACA being the perfect example. The biggest losers from the ACA were those in the lower to mid middle class that didn't qualify for the subsidies (resulting in millions no longer having insurance at all - yes even more poorer people did gain insurance but it was at the expense of the lower middle class) while the rest of the middle class and higher had their Medical costs shy-rocket. And the recent Dem economic policies have been downright awful. The Inflation Reduction Act should have been called the Inflation Acceleration Act (Heck there wasn't any part of it designed to lower inflation, and its' actual results weren't really a surprise to anyone) - that was a massive hit on the middle class.
