    Holy hell. Seriously? This is remarkably bad for the long term health of our MIDDLE CLASS.

Haha. Thanks! Still, I stand by what I said, given that the middle class should represent the majority of the economy. But, I suppose 'should' is a silly thing to say, as there's no justice inherent in the world. Or, you can't get an ought from an is, as the saying goes.

Yeah, I felt bad writing it, but there are certain pricing and capital advantages to a subsistence economy headed by an economic ruling class. SEE: China.
