Aid: Look, sir! Hordes of outraged corporate chiefs and multi-millionaires are taking to the streets to demand their right to pay their fair share of taxes! And I really must stop drinking. Punk: I'd say it's a good time to resume.
It might be significant, but as I pointed out, one who had no need to work because of their parent’s wealth would also drop a long way under the methodology used, that of looking at income and not wealth. I also suspect some of them also have “fallen out with the family”, gone out in to the world, and found it’s a tough place.
I’m not talking about taking money from the rich and merely giving it to the poor. Handing a bunch of cash to the poor would be an excellent short-term stimulus, but unsustainable long-term policy. We fell into that trap a bit pre-Reagan, but not so much today, and even less since the 1996 effort led by Gingrich’s Congress and signed by Clinton.
The countries who are leaving us in the dust in mobility are doing a much better job of funding education and health care, along with other supports for the unemployed and working parents. I find it morally reprehensible to allow any child of poor parents to attend a poor public school or do without regular health care. It’s also counter-productive if we don’t enable them to become someone with the health and skills to support themselves and pay taxes.
