[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And I didn't say it was my top priority. Just listed 2 examples that would benefit middle class people like someone asked for[/quote]

1. Universal healthcare, the rich and upper middle class already have good coverage. It will benefit the poor and working poor.
2. Free food for all children. The rich and upper middle class would not even bother to look at basic food items. It will benefit the poor and working poor.
3. Free college education, the rich and upper middle class already can afford $70K/year tuition. It will benefit the poor and middle class.

We already have these to a large degree.

1. Poor people get Medicaid, and lower-income get highly subsidized care
2. We already give free food to poor and lower-income, via food stamps
3. Pell grants cover the full tuition cost for lower-middle class families and below at the community college level

Honestly, some of you act as though we have no giveaway programs right now. We do indeed. But what extreme liberals want - free health care!...free food for all!.....free college! - just isn't affordable. No way. No how.[/quote]

There is much room for improvement -- on the taxes side and on the social programs side.
