Just couldn't believe this was "fit to print".

The rich and middle class buy 2nd and 3rd homes, recreational vehicles, 2nd,3rd and 4th automobiles, vast amounts of consumer electronics, entertainment, untold numbers of goods and services, travel, they donate vasts amounts into their communities and they continue to buy and consume without incurring debt. They also invest in others on a daily basis. Not only that, the rich are not a finite few.

You have to shake your head at the abject level of acuity involved in thinking economic issues in America are zero-sum.

There are so many problems with this quote and article that it is unfathomable the depth of illogic. Not to mention the petty resentment and hatred that must infect the mind of such a person with this kind of bigoted outlook on fellow Americans who have worked hard and achieved.

This:

The rich and middle class buy 2nd and 3rd homes, recreational vehicles, 2nd,3rd and 4th automobiles, vast amounts of consumer electronics, entertainment, untold numbers of goods and services, travel...

in no way contradicts this:

Yet the rich devote a smaller percentage of their earnings to buying things than the rest of us...

So much for acuity in economic thinking.

JK,

It certainly does not contradict. I also did not say it did contradict. Though it would not matter if it did contradict or did not contradict.

However, the rich devote a much larger percentage to the economy in ways that help the poor far beyond the wonderful efficient engine of the Federal Government.

Your point puts words in my mouth and demonstrates your continued pursuit of division.

Quit yer cryin', fund your retirement accts. to the max, look to learn and advance, follow your own investments, put them where they grow even in this economy, screw your mutual fund broker, quit wasting your time on this dumbass website and bitching like 7th graders, and lift yourself up.

LOL
