Well it honestly wouldn't surprise me if the upper middle class gets a bit hammered. Because they always do on taxes -- that's why the majority of the white ones were republican forever.
Enter this new realignment that has been taking place. They were sick of paying for a government that rewards mostly the rich and and big corporations. They don't necessarily care about small business -- it depends on whether they own a small business.
Put another way: this economy is set up to give everything to those that own the means of production. The middle class is mostly identified by their choice of comfort and a balanced life, over relentless financial climbing. They can't preserve their class as it exists unless they create structures and identities that stand up against capitalism.
Democrats are gonna help them do this -- at least that's the idea. They want to preserve their ability to have low effort high pay employment, not need to save or invest that much, and to be confident their kids will do even better without having to be a climber.
So that's probably the reason some are putting up with more spending and taxes. From an abstract macro view. A lot of the democrat platform is tailored to them. The poors are pretty much cucked atm.
