You have to chew on the middle class.
And that, is not politically popular.

As the middle class continues to shrink that should be less and less of a problem.
We are getting closer and closer to a country of haves and have-nots.
High paying manufacturing jobs are a thing of the past. We spent about 50 years of hourly workers being elevated to middle class incomes and we have to accept that that has ended. The middle class is going back to its roots of being entrepreneurs and small independent businesses. This is where hope and economic growth are found and as such, they are going to have to nurtured, not taxed out of existence.
