Comment on In today's term what is the middle class in the US? If the government wanted to help the middle class and poor how would they go about it? Beside the toss money at the problem solution?

  It is a money toss.
  Tossing money is how problems are solved. Heat goes out? Throw some money at it. Car breaks down? Kid can’t get into collage? Company not selling enough widgets? Country won’t sell you resources you want? Toss some money at it.

  Saying your looking for solutions that aren’t tossing money, shows a complete misunderstanding of how things work.

      Free?

      Have you ever heard of taxes? That’s the way a society should finance itself, by making sure that everybody contributes to it, proportionally to their means.

      Well, that’s the theory… Never really seen that implemented properly but…
