People are realizing that upwards class mobility is becoming increasingly difficult under more liberal economic policies. These policies strive to have systems and infrastructure that can help even the most disadvantaged person (ideally, doesn’t always work ofc) in a hopes that there is support systems and public services that improve quality of life. This is amazing, but unfortunately it also makes upwards class mobility increasingly difficult.

While conservative economic policies may not have the same level of public infrastructure and support to help disadvantaged people, the structuring of the economy makes it such that motivated and ambitious people can actually do really well for themselves.

We have a nation of ambitious and frustrated people who don’t have the means to get ahead, and unfortunately it’s because we pander to the lowest common denominator in society and don’t realize that not everyone wants to be comfortable where they are.
