As much as I would like to have a stronger middle class.
You cant make it happen through government.
That is really the point.
Scandanavia is probably a very bad example being so homogenous...

We have a very different dynamic here.
The mixing pot thing.
And health care is a horribly difficult problem.

People are living too damn long. Major bucks spent
on older people instead of kids early on.
Major research on drugs to keep people alive longer,
but not necessarily help with the quality of life.
I plan to off myself before this happens.
