Comment: "Low-income earners lost the most. At $1,000 a head, the dividend reduction hit hard at poor and subsistence families." That statement was documented before hand by academic studies and has proven to be true by each political act supported and defended by the economic elite of both parties and their benefactors. The suggestion that the dividend could get "too big," discourage work and encourage economic refugees to flee North is spurious, unproven  crap and Wohlforth knows it.
