Without having to support the underclass in their lavish lifestyle, our economy would be booming.
If you want to bring America back, you have to make being in the underclass suck. It will encourage people to get out of the underclass, and will, of course, mean lower tax rates for the working classes.
There are two huge problems with this.
A very large percentage of the underclass is not capable of being significantly productive. Their IQ is too low. There is no real demand for anything they're capable of doing, and this will only get worse.
Even for those in the underclass who are intellectually capable of contributing to society in a significant way, many if not most have learned attitudes, habits and ways of thinking that will prevent them from succeeding, even if they have a desire to do so.
WE DO NOT KNOW how to change such attitudes, and if we did, attempting it without the consent of those involved would be an egregious violation of their rights.
