Our NYC Mayor, DiBlasio, fits the above profile, and won election by over 40%. Curious how a working class family can make it in NYC these days. How we got to this point I'd like the answer to. NYC was the greatest city in the world, full of opportunities for anyone who had the animal spirits 50 years ago and has been putting the squeeze on J6P as costs far outpace incomes especially once Reaganomics and trickle down were implemented. But the 2M on the dole had its roots with LBJ's Great Society I am sure you know the devastation in the 'projects' by 1981. Nice to raise taxes on the high earners but $1k a year spread around will do little for the average family needing $125-150k just to lead a working class lifestyle. Better to be on the dole or a plutocrat instead? Guess if you bought in to the right gentrified hood before it took off you are feeling good too? America didn't used to be a casino like this. It valued labor and what your hard earned dollars bought much more.. What went wrong?
