I agree. There is no empathy towards people who have their jobs out-sourced and need to compete with low-cost immigrant labor. The elite left-wing opinion likes to virtue-signal about income inequality, but there's an easy solution --cut immigration rates. If you reduce the supply of labor, the working class will see its wages increases. This is Economics 101, and the unwillingness of the elites to reduce immigration rates is what drives both Trump and Brexit.

Frankly, I'm voting for Trump because the working class desperately needs a pay raise or I'm afraid we'll eventually have a revolution. Moreover, I think the income inequality is what's driving our general economic malaise. We need to improve the job prospects of the working class for everybody's good. I'm using a throwaway because arguing against immigration is automatically considered rascist and verboten among the elite.
