- Drawing out class boundaries Not sure that is the intent. What I recognize is that more uniform economic well being tends to build a more robust democracy. You should live in a place that has great extremes in wealth, by which I mean a small fraction of the populace living in luxury, while a significant fraction (of non substance abusers/non mental cases) live in rags, and scavenge for food. Democracy is on the wane in the latter places. Entitlements What constitutes an "Entitlement"? Minimum wages, SS withholdings, health care benefits to non-fulltime or non-salaried employees? One can't legislate wealth, that's obvious, but the point here is to advocate policies, and examine the consequences, rather than become hungup on wording. We can rework the wording as needed to avoid ideological red herrings.
