Whoever wrote this article seems to think middle class families are earning less than 100k. As a trade worker I make about that and that’s before adding in my wife’s income.

The article is trying to make it seem like only the wealthy are getting the benefits of the inflation reduction act. Which isn’t true.

Mississippi is the poorest state with an average annual income of 45K ish. So a 100K family is a married couple with kids from Mississippi making just barely above average pay.
