The Unheard Voices of America's Working Class: Batya Ungar-Sargon

Batya Ungar-Sargon is an American journalist and author. Recently, she traveled the country, speaking to everyday Americans about their lives and what they think about the political, economic, and cultural climate. She compiled her findings in her book: 'Second Class: How the Elites Betrayed America’s Working Men and Women.'

“The most shocking thing I found was that the American Dream for working-class people is much more alive and well and healthy in red states than it is in blue states,” says Ms. Ungar-Sargon.

We discuss how, according to her, the Democratic party betrayed middle-class Americans by creating a knowledge industry consisting of credentialed elites who benefit economically from illegal immigration and trade liberalization.
