- Just seems strange to me. The government has programs for the lower
- class/poverty level. Certainly they must have income limits in which to
- base their programs on. Or the luxary tax which was supposed to be for
- certain luxary items, which probably only the upper middle-class/rich
- could afford to buy. One would think there world be salary ranges for
- each class, or how does the government distinguish between the groups?
