Why do conservatives insist that the rich are our economic salvation? I actually appreciate big successfull businesses. I despise the greedy fucks earning 1000x their workers. For my entire life I've thought that a strong middle class was an American ideal. How do rich people extracting hundreds of millions of dollars out of our economy for their own personal income benefit the economy? An economy of luxury goods is a shitty economy.
Henry Ford paid is workers more, and then they could afford his cars. The liberal dream is for a strong middle class that can own land, and start their own businesses. If it weren't for the wealth vaccuum upward I'd be earning about $9,000 a year more (see citation). With 9000 more per year I'd be able to provide for my family better. I'd probably be investing more towards my own retirement, the local economy, and my private property. What is Sundar Pichai (CEO of google) going to do with the $9000?
Our economy is stronger than ever. More wealth is being generated than ever. It's just all of it goes to the top earners. THat's destroying us. I say the wealthy are ruining the country. We need a new economy which supports smaller more localized businesses.
