Balkcom Said The Government Should Not Do More To Close The Gap Between The Working Class And The Wealthy. QUESTION: “The government should do more to close the gap between the working class and the wealthy.” BALKCOM: “Disagree While we have an obligation to provide a necessary safety net for our most vulnerable citizens, it is not the government's proper role to attempt to engineer individual economic outcomes. Experience shows us that government intervention on this level actually causes more harm than good and has been responsible for producing generations of dependency. Government should get out of the way and encourage opportunity and upward mobility by reforming the tax code and reducing regulations on business.” [iVoterGuide, Jennifer Balkcom, 2022]
