    And it’s not good for them, either. It’s horribly short-sighted. When the middle class and poor have money, it’s so much easier to make money. When all the money coalesces into very few hands, it gets harder to make money and everything grinds to a halt.

    You can see this in things like free to play games. Chasing low amounts of money from a large amount of people isn’t as good as chasing whales. The poors who don’t spend money are there to entertain the whales. This model works because our economy is broken.

    Democrats are better for the economy. Democrats are better fiscal conservatives. Democrats are better for the rich (measured in decades).

      That’s absolutely correct, however in my experience it seems most people ignore or forgot what they learned in high school economics. Our society has such a poor memory that half the nation seems to have forgotten how bad Trump’s last presidency was.
