The problem with all of these policies is that the middle class continues to get shrunk and pay the costs associated with this through increased tax hikes, wage freezes, job losses, and the price of goods and services escalating.
There are ways to make it happen without that. But we often like to ignore that. There is a reason 70% of economists are in favor of redistribution. It may have to do with the correlation between income inequality and a whole host of problems, especially in the health of the population, which causes many more issues for the country. Much like what we are seeing now and caused the crap attempt at health care reform.
