Helping 99% of the country benefits the top 1%. Social Security brings dignity to seniors who need income later in life. Medicare treats those in need. SNAP puts food on the table so families can focus on other problems. S-CHIP Health insurance for children creates the next healthy generation. Unemployment checks are spent on food/goods/rent/gas and go directly back into the economy.
Society is not burdened with these real life issues because we as a country have learned, from hard times in our history, it is the right thing to provide help. Suffering is not what America stands for.
Social justice is not a market or a stock to be bought and sold for profit, it is a right. In a morally sound, good economy, a rising tide lifts all boats.
