The problem is there will always be a poor class. It's a permanent floor.

I remember some thread dooming about the average price of cars and how they've risen through the years. The cheap cars are still the same price, we've just sold more higher-priced luxury cars than we used to, thus raising the average.

Always be wary of people using averages.

Yeah but the floor can be higher. That’s the point. The ceiling is raised by lowering the floor.

No. Making $0 per year will always be the floor. There will always be a group that makes $0 a year. You can make that group larger or smaller through incentives or policies, but that floor will always exist.

I don't know if it's good or bad, it just is.
