Why Trump has got it wrong (and the Social Darwinists 101) Investing in people will reap in rewards for society and create a wealthier nation.Why working class people are on average just as bright, ambitious, and capable as middle and upper class people. Just give people a good chance in life with a good education, good jobs, and sufficient benefits to help them through hard times and reap the rewards. No underclass, more entrepreneurs, less alcohol and drug problems, less crime, safer communities, less money spent on police and social services, lower taxes - better everything.And all this before we even start on neuroplasticity, the other key component to how we become who we are - where our brains physical adapt and change according to our environment and early life experiences.
