RE: The poverty trap

in #sociology6 years ago

that is quite fantastic, I had no idea this was the case and it makes absolute perfect sense in my view. I mean, now that I've gone down this rabbit hole, these ideas of safety nets that don't prevent but actually motivate upward movement seem to be so obvious, I can't help but to think we are ignoring them purposely.

Well, it's not unthinkable that republicans are willing to pay more taxes now,in the hope for massive tax cuts in the future.
A lot of biased people want the currently inefficient system to stay in place, instead of fixing it. Because then, they might be able to dismantle it, and redesign it, so that it will work best for THEM...
