Education doesn't teach you so many important things, but it does teach you how to learn. I'm not learning cylindrical coordinates right now because I'm going to use them tomorrow, or ever, I'm learning them because it is the process that is important to me.
Having a large percentage of population in the middle class is important for the success and balance of a nation. Having a lot of people in the low class creates a vicious cycle.
Paying people to be in the lower class also creates a vicious cycle.
We need to allow people to fail just as we need to allow people to succeed.
I know I am cruel and evil and blah blah but we can not support everyone forever.
Raising taxes on the middle class is a farce if you raise taxes all it does is shift the "middle" up some (some poeple become poor some who were wealthy become the new upper middle).
The Net result is even fewer people paying taxes.
