In turn, they are forced in a lower class society which has limited choices.

One solution to help out middle class society is to offer more tax breaks to keep up with inflation. The more a middle class society the world develops, the stronger a society we will have. The less of a middle class we create, the more of a lower class we have, which in turn create conflict. The more people are even footing, the more chance to open communication with one and other.
