#firstworldproblems. Our middle class "struggles" are certainly struggles, but no middle class income person is really worried about whether they will have shelter or the basic necessities.

True enough... if there wasn't enough of their wealth to redistribute, the poor folks would have it pretty bad.

Let's ignore the fact that indecency and crime (across categories) span across socioeconomic status. Let's also ignore the fact the average poor person is hard working, honest, and not involved in crime.

Do they? Are a lot of those folks in the country club cooking meth and having their children placed into foster care? I work in the system and I just don't see that happening. Out of the hundreds of cases I've worked on, I think one time ever did I have kids in private school.
That said, back to the original subject, the proposed system didn't intentionally target lower-income people, but I could definitely see why $1,000 to someone on public assistance would mean more than $1,000 to me.
