>the poor are ignored by a middle-class obsessed with protecting the power of the 1% I have been thinking that some of this is inevitable- that a system will always end up focused on people in the 15th-65th percentile. People will always stratify based on innate desires, and sufficiently advanced government policy will eventually narrow to helping roughly 50% of people (because if they helped, say, 85% of people they would be done early in governance). So as each new policy helps a smaller and smaller slice, you have to ask what that 50% should be. Helping just the 1-50 half? The other half will refuse to pay for it (and make no mistake, the Upper half pays the vast majority of taxes). Helping just 50-99? The people in the 49th percentile will lead the coup. So policy will gravitate toward helping the "down on their luck" crowd (e.g. the 15th percentile) and the "small business owner" (the 60th percentile), at the expense of ignoring the needs of the absolute poorest. Just a thought experiment, obviously not proven science.
