"I see salvation from increasing the
wealth of the rest of the country, especially the
middle 60% of the population, so that they have
the means to purchase additional goods and
services and to provide investment capital which
would benefit all, including the rich. "
Where do the fairer angel exist among us that can increase the wealth of the 60% as you say?
It certainly does not reside in our centralized federal governments command and control centre now does it?
Otherwise shouldn't we have gotten a little bit bigger bang for the 6 trillion dollar buck than 1.2% real growth GDP in four years?
Or is it the iron curtain blocking not only free enterprise but fast sucking the oxygen from the foundation of freedom itself?
The only thing government can do is stay the hell out of the way.
I'm 100% certain it's the latter.
Bill your position, world view, ideology, economic understanding and related logic therein is untenable and non existent.. Supported by fiction not fact.
"I have seen
increasingly since 2000 more and more middle class
customers come in our door needing our services
who have NO means of paying for those services."
If they don't have means of paying for services needed why are they there in the first place?
I can only surmise you are in some form of medical care as a profession.
If that is the case there should be no worry.
Starting in 2014 we will be warehousing those in need in a whole new bureaucracy known as "Obamacare".... not sure it covers dental or ophthalmology.
But don't you worry about the ruling elite that has hoisted this great social program on us all for they have exempted themselves and their families.
Bill you are not only self destructive, you and your damnable motives are ruining
life liberty and the pursuit of happiness for your children and generations to come. And you will remain blind to the truth until the day they come to put you in a hole with a rock on it.
