To some extent, this "trickle down" effect does work; the question is knowing when it actually makes society wealtheir and when it makes it poorer. I simply believe that allowing middle class wages to drop will do the later. And it is a slippery slope-once you go after the lower middle class, it isnt hard to go after the upper middle class, which of course includes YOU.

Have a nice evening!
