The 6th,7th and 8th (The fading Middle Class) will pay the brunt.
It is always interesting to imagine a fiction of our own design, but you can't back that up with real numbers, and that is where the sad fantasy of a lie is born. There are, I will grant you, many eager to pick up a lie and use it as a tool-but it is a poor tool and one that shatters upon the first hard use.
I prefer reality to fantasy.

You do bring up a very good point though, as soon as we begin to treat various groups as different or special, inequalities begin to grow to dominate the system.
