Have we ever had a different way succeed?


Yes. In fact, we almost ALWAYS have a different way succeed.

Go look at who is actually paying the income taxes. This idea that
the middle class supports everyone else simply isn't supported by the
facts.

Give me an example of a state with the power to print its own money
where a different way has succeeded.


A different way than "high employment of the tax paying middle class"?
The United States is a fine example.

Most people would say the United States does not have a balanced
budget. But you are free to your own opinion.

Go look at who pays the Federal income taxes. It's mostly NOT "the
tax paying middle class".


That certainly was how the Clinton budget was balanced.


Hogwash!

So please explain how that budget was balanced. Maybe we should try
that policy.
