I know this will irritate the economists around here, but I always maintain that the only people that actually "create wealth" are in essence parents. Without consumers, there is no demand and without demand there is no "wealth".

Unfortunately, I'm the only person that thinks this way.

Was that Einstein? I always heard that that came from Ben Franklin.

PEACE!
