Examining Economic Pressures on the Middle Class

CPM attorney Jordan Butler recently participated in a news segment examining the ongoing contraction of the middle class and the economic forces driving it. As policymakers, businesses, and families alike navigate an evolving economic landscape, issues such as tax policy and tariffs remain central to discussions about long-term financial stability.

In the segment, Jordan offers perspective on how changes in tax structures and trade policy can ripple beyond balance sheets—affecting household income, business planning, and broader economic resilience. While these topics are often discussed at a high level, the practical implications are felt most acutely by small and mid-sized businesses and working families making day-to-day decisions.

At CPM, we regularly help clients assess how economic and regulatory changes affect planning decisions across business operations, investment strategy, and long-term wealth planning. Staying informed about these developments is an important part of proactive legal and financial planning.

Watch the full segment below to hear Jordan’s insights and learn more about how taxes and tariffs factor into today’s economic challenges.
