I would suggest that society create and stimulate UPWARD MOBILITY by having a progressive tax structure (also good PUBLIC education and other PROGRESSIVE programs). That gives society a strong middle class and a strong middle class makes for a strong society. With a strong middle class and good PUBLIC school outcomes a country will have fewer and fewer people left behind that become susceptible to crime, gangs, drugs, suicide which weaken the country.
........I believe that the US has destroyed its own middle class by outsourcing to China and making tax policy ly the RICH and for the RICH. And other countries in the world are observing our weakness.
