Although the coalition did everything possible to discredit the Chilean middle class, especially former President Bachelet and his Finance Minister Andres Velasco, the truth is that this large group of Chile never receive social benefits subsidies or tax breaks if they perceive that affluent or poor people.
Many Chilean middle class families should borrow for life, either by purchasing a home, education of children, health, etc, and always stays on the waiting list for aid State or capture only residual benefits.
like to share with you a letter from a girl of the Chilean middle class, which is in the process of entering college, and his words reflect what I have said in these lines.
