Under the ruse of the “ownership society” middle class Americans are being increasingly asked to fend for themselves when it comes to getting old, getting sick or other major life events.
…the ownership society is all about taking government off the hook in terms of providing any kind of safety net. That is, presumably, to free up more tax dollars to keep in the hands of the rich, who are then supposed to create more jobs. Call it trickle down, with an employment kicker.
And you can now add college tuition aid to the growing list of middle class benefits headed for the scrap heap in George Bush’s America.
