You can’t use socialism to help the middle class. You can’t do it.
It’s not possible.
But that’s not going to stop politicians from trying.
Its not possible.
Indeed, the first objective of socialism is to eliminate the middle class!
The middle class, with its ambitions and mobility, is simply not compatible with the societal structure that socialism desires to achieve -- a two-tier society composed of a.) the proletarian masses and b.) the governing elites.
