So what do we do about this? Should we have a society where people are working full-time and living paycheck-to-paycheck? Is that a fair and equitable thing?

After we fix our government corruption in this country, we should look towards more socialism - I'd rather live in a society that houses homeless children, cares for its disabled, helps its sick, and empowers its poor, then one that doesn't - and I think most people share my view.
