Everything is politics, brainwashed functional moron.
And right now the USA poor thing is in a 35 year old garbage propaganda GOP rip off of the non-rich and you brainwashed functional morons don't even know it. Average wages go up what the median wage is going down. That is called the worst inequality and upward mobility in our history. Great job GOP. And silly dupes like you...
So how would you fix the upward mobility problem?
Like every other rich country, we should have a living wage Healthcare daycare paid parental leave cheap college and training, great vacations and infrastructure, ID card to end illegal immigration, and taxing the rich their fair share to pay for it. Just like every other rich country. Ain't socialism horrible LOL?
#1) What is a "living wage"? You have zero concept. We live in capitalism. Want a better wage, then improve yourself and get a better job. Nothing is given. Everything is earned.
#2) We have healthcare. Best MDs in the world. Best cancer cure rates. Best Childrens Hospitals.
#3) Paid parental leave is up to employers.
#4) I agree on the college, especially state school. Not "cheap" but affordable.
Socialism is nationalizing industries. Is this what you're for?
