Your points are all valid in a country ruled by 'class envy', which seems to be where our Department of Education and NEA have brung us. The country may also note eventually tho' that the Party of 'class envy' hasn't changed its message for 60+ years...resulting in 'The One'. If the country eventually comes to the conclusion that 'class envy' and cult following is the problem, not capitalism, that would be heartwarming, wouldn't it! That one sign at a Tea Party was encouraging..."Obama, Socialism Failed, Get Over It". There are many people out there that do understand, and we can 'hope' that common sense prevails in the end!
You bet!
I can't tell you how many times I've tried to explain to these "hate the rich" types that the current problem was not created by free mkts. It was govt interfering and pushing political considerations into a free mkt.
Govt triggered this mess by pushing sub prime lending through the CRA and then initially creating a secondary mkt for these loans through Fannie & Freddie. Wall street followed and has to bear responsibility for it, but they were not the principal cause.
Class envy will destroy this country. Persecute the wealthy for being job creators and making vast sums of money in the process and in no time at all you will not have jobs created.
