  1.  @thatguy2608  He fell into the trap of talking about credentials, rather than actual monetary, fiscal, or tax policies that would alleviate poverty and widen the middle class (which means shortening the rich). There was nothing to dumb down, it was a "rich get richer spiel", but offered no way to stop it. I'm pasting from an econ channel, but it's my comment: "You can fix that by firstly raising the income tax allowance, which should be increased to within 75% of the median wage (broken down by county) and then pegged to the RPI. The minimum wage should be inflation adjusted (to say 2007 pounds, right before the crash) and then pegged to the RPI. VAT should be scrapped for everything but luxury goods, at 35%" Just those policies would help the bottom 90%, but Gary had none.

  3.  @andresgarciacastro1783  Well I'm talking about allowing workers (as opposed to capitalists) to keep much more of their income. When you increase the share of national income to the middle and bottom, the top is taken care of.
