You’re adding 20 million people to the bottom rung of society. That class section has the highest percentage of social program use, and therefor are most likely to vote for candiates promising more money for those programs, just as Tyler theorized.

The problem lies in where the money for the programs come from. Unfortunately the law makers and bureaucrats are in the upper rung, and don’t want to be taxed, so the middle class gets pushed closer to the lower class, creating the problem. I think 5 years is pretty fast, but history does tend to repeat itself…
