Those receiving public assistance have 3 times the birth rate of everyone else. There wouldn't be so much wealth disparity if they could keep their birth rate on par with everyone else's, and we didn't have an exponentially increasing dependent class.

Stupid citizens, lead to voters who will not defend the instituitons that promote the middle class. Anti union laws were created, pro union laws were abolished, tax rates on the ultra rich were lowered. The IRS, SEC were all underfunded.

Plenty of countries that have much more luxiurious public assistance and their standard of living is higher than the USA.

Swing and a miss.
