Sure, but it can't be sold as primarily benefiting the poor. Poor people don't vote, and the working and middle classes are very much opposed to benefits for the poor. That's why everything is sold as benefiting the middle class.
I think there's room for a big set of proposals to benefit the working class, higher minimum wage, increased overtime, etc. Basically policies that build on the idea that full time workers shouldn't live in poverty. But the Dems don't stand for anything, so, oh well.
