That's an odd response to a question not asked.
Name 3 things the GOP has done to benefit middle class America.
That's it.

You know he's not going to give you an answer, so I'll answer for him:
The GOP has shifted Americans shopping at Macy's to shopping at Walmart
The GOP has helped older people keep active in their golden years by cutting their pensions, enabling them to get jobs sacking groceries
The GOP has kept middle class Americans safer by keeping track of the books they checked out at the library.

Hmmm...I work, and my employer pays the bulk of my premium. Many American's don't realize that, but America is the only country in the world where most citizens are insured thru their employer. I noticed that my monthly contribution went up from $36 to $38. But it's funny because while the GOP, especially Cruz, rail against "Obamacare"....their "tax cuts" they promise only seem to focus on the federal income tax. They like to point to the SC ruling that it's a tax to justify their "democrats raise taxes" mantra. But how about your income tax...you know, the one that Cruz said he'd make flat....how much has that gone up? Should Cruz get elected, will you admit that your 2% tax cut, but 18% VAT increase would be considered a tax increase?
Funny thing about tax cutting republicans...the seem to try to find it elsewhere. In my state, they cut taxes. Then they raised the sales tax. The net effect for the middle class is - no change. It's still short money in the state treasury. But Kansas is a great example of republican tax cutting. I did taxes for my daughter. She's a 22 year old college student who worked 2 part time jobs last year and grossed a little over $8,000. She has to pay the state of Kansas $50 over and above what they withheld. Compare that to her mother - a self employed realtor. SHE made in the low 6 figures last year, but she created an LLC. She paid nothing in taxes, but she DID go down as a "new business" in Kansas, even though she's been selling homes here for the past 25 years. The eliminated the tax and pass thru income on LLC's and claimed it would "create jobs". AFter working 25 years..it's nice to know that the state now says she has a job, since she hasn't hired anybody to help her. Prior to that, she paid taxes, but apparently didn't have a job. It's republican smoke and mirrors, championed by Laugher himself. The state is running a deficit, and it looks like we'll need to raid the state employees pension fund and highway funds again.
