This current Welfare/Warfare State is working 'well' for the very poor and very wealthy. However, it's failing the in-between Middle Class miserably. The Middle Class is being mugged and left for dead. And their the Working-class backbone of the nation.
The very poor have $Billions in Government Entitlements. And the very wealthy are always gonna get theirs. But who's looking out for the in-between Middle Class? The answer is, no one at this point. And that's why the Collapse is inevitable. It's very sad, but it is what it is.
Most of us in the middle class don't want to fuck the poor to save a few bucks in taxes. It is the rich who have pitted us again the poor. And it is their policies that are pushing many of us in the middle class into poverty.
a. Send jobs overseas
b. Don't give raises even when profits are up, all while CEO pay has skyrocketed.
c. Hire illegals
D. Break unions
E. Hire temps instead of employees
F. Raise healthcare costs on the middle class. How much have employers raise healthare costs in the last 20 years? A lot. Companies used to pay for healthcare, now they just contribute. This hasn't hurt the CEO who's pay has gone up 300% in the last 20 years but this has royally fucked workers and the middle class.
You can cut welfare all you want, its not going to make the middle class better. But the CEO's could pay us more. A lot of companies are starting to do this.
This current Welfare/Warfare State is actually working out ok for the very poor. Our Government spends several $Billions on Government Entitlements. And you're right about the wealthy getting theirs. They always do. But the hard-working Middle Class is being mugged. And it's they who fund the massive spending.
So once they go, it's all over. That'll be the Collapse. Right now, you have a nation who's very poor and very wealthy are actually doing relatively 'well.' But the Middle Class is suffering immensely. If that's not addressed soon, the Collapse will be coming soon. It is what it is.
The rich are doing better than ever
The poor are receiving the same benefits they always have
It is the middle class who have seen their wages stagnate, their health insurance cut, their retirement system evaporate
I agree for the most part. Except, i think Entitlements have increased quite a bit over the years. The very poor have more options than ever before. The $Billions in Government Entitlement spending is there. I'm not knocking poor folks, i'm just saying they're doing relatively 'well.' And obviously, the wealthy are always gonna do well. They can manipulate the System to benefit them.
However, the in-between Middle Class isn't getting any attention or relief. It's being left for dead. We better start addressing the dire situation soon. We're running out of time. We're $21 Trillion in Debt and yet no one seems to care. There has to be a reckoning. I hope folks understand that.
