What is the single largest issue impacting the middle class and what single legislation could help?

I am really looking to be pointed to the best folks to answer this question (aka - top academic minds from respected universities - expert in field). The rule is, however, they cannot be associated with a corporation that would benefit from the suggested legislation.|||Most "top academic minds" and "experts in the field" never miss a chance to answer such a pearl on Yahoo Answers... so here I go.





The largest issue is the economy. The best legislation would be to promote free market capitalism by reducing government regulation. Additionally, eliminating corporate taxes (which are just passed on to the consumer), and getting rid of most if not all social programs (welfare, medicare, social security e.g.) and using federal tax dollars for the only true thing for which all benefit - defense and border security - would be the best for the middle class. They could then take the additional income (as realized by reduced taxes) and spend it where they best see fit... health care, retirement,a vacation, their kids college, gambling in Vegas, illegal drug use... whatever, I don't care as long as they quit expecting me to subsidize it.|||http://www.buybackamericanow.com was the driver behind this question.
