rewrite "How To Save Middle Class When Jobs Don't Pay" by Peter Barmes describes an economic system that was carried out in Alaska which provides a source income to all the population in Alaska which ranges from one thousand to over three thousand dollars yearly. This system was stablished by Jay Hammond, a republican Governor of Alaska from 1974 to 1982, he was the first person to come up with a way for everyone to get the same amount of dividend. Barnes identifies the problem as the stagnation of wages in the middle class. Despite productivity increases, wages have not kept pace, leading to a widening wealth gap. This is due to factors like globalization, automation, and the decline of labor unions
