Well the issues, policies, theories, etc. will vary wildly on which class you're discussing. The lower class has an entirely different set of incentives than the mid-middle and lower-middle classes.

I think what your post is implying is mostly towards the lower class cohort.

No, I was referring to the middle class cohort.

From the end of WWII to the early 1970s this county's economic policy goals encouraged family formation in the middle class. Since then, they have actively discouraged it.

Again, the question should be asked: who or whom was responsible for these policy changes, which continue to this day? And for what purpose - and to whose advantage - were they made?

There was a long campaign against what they called the "WASP"s the wealthy prominent class that dominated business, ivy league schools, high society. Who they characterized as nepotistic, elitist, corrupt, dysfunctional when they made a bunch of classic comedy movies and such about how they were replacing them. And they've replaced them. And they are totally nepotistic, elitist, corrupt, dysfunctional etc

They dominate the news room, NGOs, everything.


The entirety of all upper echelon of all industries is locked in the grasp of a select few groups from a select few area codes, a select few colleges, and in some cases on a select few families. There's countless examples of the incestuous nature of the United States upper class.

Let's look at Janet Yellen. Treasury Secretary of the Biden Administration.

She went to Brown and Yale, her husband went to Yale and MIT. They have one son who went to Yale and got a PhD from Harvard.

That a mother, father, and son. All went to Yale, all with an Ivy league undergrad, and outside of the MIT post-grad degree from her husband.

And what a coincidence that they both sided with Harvard in the discrimination lawsuit filed by Asian-American groups. You think they don't want to preserve their standing in society?

Tell me, exactly what we’re doing to stop it.

That’s why I asked if you’d rather go down in history as the generation who didn’t fight for our republic.

I agree, we aren’t doing anything and history won’t be kind to us either.
