Democrats like to fancy themselves as the “party of the poor” rather than the “by elitists, for elitists” party they actually are. It should come as no surprise, then, that the party regularly fails to help people escape poverty.

Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN), Vice President Kamala Harris’s running mate, has made this one of his new favorite attacks to launch against Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH), who joined former President Donald Trump on the Republican ticket. During his speech at the Democratic National Convention, Walz hit Vance for going to Yale University, saying, “I had 24 kids in my high school class, and none of them went to Yale. But I’ll tell you what, growing up in a small town like that, you learn to take care of each other.”
