I agree with your point. I just dont see a true turnaround, until it includes, or starts with the middle and lower class. I think somehow, the middle and lower class needs the bennefits and funding that the higher is getting. I just think it has to start at the roots, to really make a difference. Case in point, the 700b bailout, we bailed them, gave them the money, they are keeping it, using it for thier own good, not the good of others as it was intended. So, what next? Auto dealers cant sell cars, so now they need bailed out. After the holidays, watch how many retailers close shop. It just seems to me, they are working it backwards. Get the money in at the bottom, let them spend it, if they have it, they will buy things, cars, clothes, go out to eat, movies, etc. etc., then the rest will fall in line. time for the trickle up theory, cuz the trickle down just aint working.
