And the problem is that these low-income houses wouldn't be a problem if we didn't stack them up next to each other like a neighborhood

2019-04-21 03:56:29 UTC  

But what affluent area would want a low-income house complex in their area?

2019-04-21 03:56:34 UTC  

It would drive them down their property prices!

2019-04-21 03:56:39 UTC  

*wink*

2019-04-21 03:57:41 UTC  

So what is Trump been doing for the dream chasing lower-middle class?

2019-04-21 03:58:04 UTC  

Cutting their taxes, decentralizing grant programs, and curbing regulations.

2019-04-21 03:58:07 UTC  

Exactly what he's been doing.

2019-04-21 03:58:25 UTC  

For people who served in the military, these people are often placed in the lower-middle class already.

2019-04-21 03:58:47 UTC  

They're not poor enough to be lower, but they're not wealthy enough to be middle.

2019-04-21 03:58:51 UTC  

And if they're not careful

2019-04-21 03:59:01 UTC  

They'll end up lower class because of their military conditioning.

2019-04-21 03:59:19 UTC  

So Trump's been trying to stop that.

2019-04-21 03:59:31 UTC  

Trump's also been trying to cut taxes by increasing your kid tax deductions.

2019-04-21 03:59:46 UTC  

1 kid being tax deducted is now worth 2 kids pre-trump tax deducted.

2019-04-21 04:00:08 UTC  

So a lot of poor families will actually see more tax returns than usual.

2019-04-21 04:00:32 UTC  

Despite what the mainstream media gives shit examples like (1 couple of 2 homosexuals will end up paying more because they are upper class???)

2019-04-21 04:01:00 UTC  

Trump's been also empowering the small business owners (middle-upper)

2019-04-21 04:01:14 UTC  

This will be my last segment and the middle-upper are an important class.

2019-04-21 04:01:21 UTC  

They're the one that will basically be the biggest taxpayers

2019-04-21 04:01:46 UTC  

Trustfund babies, retiring white-collar working boomers, stock investors all fall under this category.

2019-04-21 04:02:09 UTC  

Now they're not the biggest taxpayers in term of federal government

2019-04-21 04:02:11 UTC  

nono

2019-04-21 04:02:16 UTC  

these are the biggest tax payers for your state and local government.

2019-04-21 04:02:43 UTC  

They pay city permits, property taxes, and capital gains taxes... much more.

2019-04-21 04:03:38 UTC  

They're also your #1 local lobbyists as well(different from the main lobbyists that lobby for corporate[this can be discussed if @ me])

2019-04-21 04:04:31 UTC  

But they're not exactly large enough to vote

2019-04-21 04:04:40 UTC  

after all 1 (wo)man, 1 vote.

2019-04-21 04:04:48 UTC  

But they're been the biggest to be affected by politics nowadays.

2019-04-21 04:05:05 UTC  

Democrats simply don't want to tax the big companies because they'll just loophole away.

2019-04-21 04:05:30 UTC  

Well, Democrats that aren't of AOC kind that is.

2019-04-21 04:05:46 UTC  

So Democrats try to simply tax the middle-upper class.

2019-04-21 04:06:18 UTC  

Whenever a new program needs to be funded

2019-04-21 04:06:24 UTC  

They tend to tax/regulate these people the most to space

2019-04-21 04:07:00 UTC  

Republicans however try to do the opposite and ensure these small business stay thriving and growing

2019-04-21 04:07:18 UTC  

but that means oh wait corporations get to thrive and grow bigger than ever as well

2019-04-21 04:07:26 UTC  

So if you really want a better American society.

2019-04-21 04:09:07 UTC  

You have to ensure that the gap between the upper class and middle-upper class remain steady and not grow at an insane rate.
Make sure you don't piss off your middle class because they're the one that leans the most radical to either socialists or new rightists(not alt-right).
Make sure you don't disfranchise your lower-middle class or else they'll join their middle class brethrens via government, job, or social policy.
and you babysit the lower class to prevent them from inflicting harm to society.

2019-04-21 04:10:33 UTC  

Now two radical literary novel offers an insight into what a better society could look like radically.

2019-04-21 04:11:36 UTC  

You can either adopt the *1984* concept where the upper class is the ruling party, and the middle-upper, middle, and lower-middle class are all being monitored and babysat very carefully while the lower class get to be careless and become indoctrinated.

2019-04-21 04:13:44 UTC  

OR you can adopt the *Brave New World* concept where the upper class, middle-upper, and middle are formed as one ruling group that distance themselves away(by distinguishing themselves one way or another) from the lower-middle and lower classes who are essentially sedated and oppressed(but a lack of self-awareness prevents them from realizing this)

2019-04-21 04:17:15 UTC  

However if those are two radical for you, we can just continue what we're doing right now with Trump's administration.
