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
But what affluent area would want a low-income house complex in their area?
It would drive them down their property prices!
*wink*
So what is Trump been doing for the dream chasing lower-middle class?
Cutting their taxes, decentralizing grant programs, and curbing regulations.
Exactly what he's been doing.
For people who served in the military, these people are often placed in the lower-middle class already.
They're not poor enough to be lower, but they're not wealthy enough to be middle.
And if they're not careful
They'll end up lower class because of their military conditioning.
So Trump's been trying to stop that.
Trump's also been trying to cut taxes by increasing your kid tax deductions.
1 kid being tax deducted is now worth 2 kids pre-trump tax deducted.
So a lot of poor families will actually see more tax returns than usual.
Despite what the mainstream media gives shit examples like (1 couple of 2 homosexuals will end up paying more because they are upper class???)
Trump's been also empowering the small business owners (middle-upper)
This will be my last segment and the middle-upper are an important class.
They're the one that will basically be the biggest taxpayers
Trustfund babies, retiring white-collar working boomers, stock investors all fall under this category.
nono
these are the biggest tax payers for your state and local government.
They pay city permits, property taxes, and capital gains taxes... much more.
They're also your #1 local lobbyists as well(different from the main lobbyists that lobby for corporate[this can be discussed if @ me])
But they're not exactly large enough to vote
after all 1 (wo)man, 1 vote.
But they're been the biggest to be affected by politics nowadays.
Democrats simply don't want to tax the big companies because they'll just loophole away.
Well, Democrats that aren't of AOC kind that is.
So Democrats try to simply tax the middle-upper class.
Whenever a new program needs to be funded
They tend to tax/regulate these people the most to space
Republicans however try to do the opposite and ensure these small business stay thriving and growing
but that means oh wait corporations get to thrive and grow bigger than ever as well
So if you really want a better American society.
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.
Now two radical literary novel offers an insight into what a better society could look like radically.
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.
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)
However if those are two radical for you, we can just continue what we're doing right now with Trump's administration.
