Televised campaign ads

To the Editor:

Just an observation from my husband and I as we were watching the usual hype of campaign ads and saw the one about Donald trump exporting clothing jobs overseas because he couldn’t make them here. A spokesman for The New England Shirt Company spoke about how his factory was making shirts here for a long time, so we decided to check out this company.
We were much surprised and disappointed that this place is not for the middle class buyer. Starting price for a nice dress shirt was $150! (Good I guess, if you live in the premier homes here) but most of us would not pay that for a nice dress shirt. (Perhaps Bill and Hillary can afford that!).
I guess my comment is if Hillary is very much into the middle class then there has to be an economy for the middle class and yes, maybe this factory is great, and union as I understand, it still isn’t reaching out to the middle class. Trump isn’t either!!
