We aren't a socialist country. The kind of system you propose would do exactly what you're claiming is happening. The vast majority of people are middle class. We have sustained an 11% poverty rate for over a half century, which only went up appreciably under Obama.In the context of a system under which the vast majority must be poor so that a small minority can be very rich, and the entire organization of things like policing is designed to keep the poor poor and make the rich richer.
So saying that the vast majority is poor is just a straight out lie.
