That's incorrect. It has begun in America. Just not in the manner some would like. The bottom has seen a dramatic improvement, the middle class has not.
The inflation adjusted per capita income transfer for welfare programs has nearly tripled since 1979.
The US welfare state has massively expanded over 30 and 40 years. The rich are paying for that social safety net expansion. The top 20% pay 87% of all income taxes in the US.
Nobody ever wants to talk about these facts because it's unpopular and deflates the propaganda.
US poverty is near an all-time low. Homelessness is at an all-time low. The poor now have near universal healthcare coverage.
The US spends more on welfare programs as a share of GDP than what Australia and Canada do. It'll surpass Switzerland on that metric within a couple of years. The US has a lower homelessness rate than Canada or France and a poverty rate as low as those.
The top 20% pays more taxes because they make 80% of the money and own 80% of the assets in the country. That's how it's SUPPOSED to work.
As a PERCENTAGE of their income they pay much less that the middle and lower class.
The poor have universal health care? WAT. Cant even justify this with a response.
The US spends more on welfare programs as a share of GDP than what Australia and Canada do...but we're behind like 20 other countries. Bizzare cherry picking there.
