Can’t the middle class save itself?
On this website and threads, there’s a mantra that the middle class must be rescued, but isn’t the middle class supposed to be about being self sufficient and adaptable?
*proceeds to duck and cover*
The middle class cannot be self-sufficient and adaptable when the political elites are doing everything they can to destroy it.
There comes a point when the economic system can no longer function because so much money is confiscated from those who earn it to be given to those who refuse to work. The ability of the government to keep up with its constitutionally mandated functions is being threatened by the high levels of cash being disbursed as "entitlement spending." We are in big trouble.
For an illustration of the debt problem, I suggest looking at the website in my tagline. The biggest spending item is entitlement (i.e. welfare) spending.
