Quite the opposite is the case. Republicans keep the minimum wage down while giving huge tax breaks to corporations and the wealthy. The result is that bosses make hundreds or thousands more $$ than what their employees make. This trend began under Reagan, and has continued, with some respite under Clinton and Obama. Republicans take away regulations that protect the people on the phony excuse of boosting business profits that will trickle down to everyone. They remove protections for unions and instead put up barriers to them, thereby bringing down wages and benefits to workers. They take away health care protections for the people so that big pharma and big medicine can make millions. They provide huge subsidies to outdated industries. They attack entitlements that we the people have more than paid for. Trump has been pursuing this false trickle-down policy to the max. It always fails, and it is entirely a Republican policy held for 124 years. I see no let up in this policy, contrary to what you say. He promised better trade deals, but delivered peanuts and his trade wars cost farmers millions. Trump is a non-populist. He is a fake. He is part of the elite, and he is an elitist, as are all Republican politicians.

Democrats have opposite policies on all these matters, and stand with the people. They still take corporate money, but they also support campaign, wall street and lobbying financial reforms while Republicans oppose them tooth and nail.
