We’re taking our fight for NC middle class families all the way through November. RT to share: http://t.co/FMBfD2xl6V #NCSEN

Hagan’s tweet timeline is littered with people calling out Hagan. The above is just one example. How about those 500,000 North Carolinians who lost their health insurance under Hagan? Was that fighting for the middle class? No. That was fighting for Obaam’s agenda.

Let’s expand on her “middle class” statement with some facts about what Democrats have done for the middle class,  courtesy of the NRSC:

In a blistering editorial today in the Wall Street Journal, Phil Gramm and Michael Solon explain that “Democratic Senators elected in 2008 made Obama’s agenda possible, and its results have harmed most Americans,” most notably the struggling middle class.

A statistical analysis by the duo is quite damning. Since the Senate Democratic Class of 2008 (including Mark Begich, Jeanne Shaheen, Mark & Tom Udall, Mark Warner, Kay Hagan, and Jeff Merkley) have been in the Senate Democratic Majority:

• The average real income of the poorest one-fifth of American families has declined every year, falling to $15,534 in 2012 from $16,962 in 2008 (the 2013 data will be released Sept. 16).
   
• The average real income of the lowest quintile of Americans is now below the level it was in 1968, the year when the War on Poverty began its spending surge.
   
• The average income of these Americans (often referred to as the working class) has fallen 6.5% and is now $1,182 lower than it was when President Reagan left office.
   
• America’s middle class—has seen its average income decline to $62,464 from $65,672. More than half of this decline has occurred since the recovery officially began in the second quarter of 2009.
   
• In Alaska, household income in 2012 was 7.2% lower than it was at the end of 2008, falling back to its 1988 level. In Arkansas, household income has dropped 8.2%. Colorado households have 13.5% less income than they did before the Democratic Congress and President Obama transformed America. The same is true in Louisiana, where household income has fallen 7.9%. And in North Carolina, household income has declined 10.2%—falling to the lowest level in the 28 years the Census Bureau has provided state-by-state income data.
   
• Married women, unmarried women and women living alone all saw their incomes fall. Under the Obama administration, the median income of women has fallen more during the recovery than it did during the recession, an unprecedented economic failure in postwar America.
   
• The real median income of African-American households has fallen by 9.5%, more than any other major census classification.
   
• Hispanic income has fallen, especially for middle-income Hispanic families, whose income has declined every year since 2008. According to the latest census data, the income of middle-class Hispanics is lower than when Jimmy Carter was president.

In March, an article in Mother Jones (!) pointed out that, “Democrats have done virtually nothing for the middle class in 30 years.” Democrats like Kay Hagan have a lot of explaining to do.
