So what if Bill Gates and his ilk have more wealth than middle classers like me? Instead of whipping-up socialist envy, let’s remove socialist barriers to wealth creation so we can accumulate the wealth that our talents and drive allow.
Right, and this is always the part of the cycle where wealthy people outrun the rest the most. Which is needed since they provide the seed money for employment/new businesses. (Tempted to use an exclamation point there, heh.). The middle class does better as the cycle matures. The more wealth you build the faster it builds, and that’s true of all income classes. If we reach a point where the 1% is not doing well, decline spreads down the wealth scale to where it hurts the most.
If we could just get the megalomaniacs to stop micromanaging our lives, no one would care how much they had.
