It must be noted that even though Medwedia could theoretically make the workers' life much more comfortable as it is, the lower classes are kept on poor standards of life purposefully to signify the social and cultural separation. Yes, on purpose. It is made sure that their lifes are not too comfortable.

Rather than taxation, the government prefers laws that enact price floors. Since most shops are owned by the government anyway (de facto they are owned by individual members of the elite), enforcement is easy. There are also laws that simply prohibit certain social classes or professions from buying certain goods - non-academics would not be able to buy exotic fruit and vegetables even if they somehow got the money and were ready to pay the double price.

When it comes to medicine, the government is even stricter: as workers are considered to be expendable, they are denied unnecessary and most necessary treatments. Surgeons are instructed to operate working-class patients without anaesthesia. If a worker becomes terminally ill, he is executed or locked in a small cell, left to die of starvation.
