People aren't versed, and think the problem in their life is that they don't make enough money.

The actual problem (overwhelmingly) is that they spend to much on housing.

If we can just build more housing to bring down prices, 80% of reactionary "just seize their assets in anyway" rhetoric will go away.

Of course, this also means the middle class needs to take a 20%+ hair cut on their net worth. Deeply unpalatable, and doesn't fit the "1% will pay for everything" zeitgeist.
