33. You're right, and it's frustrating.

If only those folks could realize that we all do better when the working class has money to spend. That's the truth, and the pervasive resistance to this truth has been eroding wealth in this country for over forty years.

I often feel like I am beating my head against a brick wall on this issue, yet I can not make myself be silent about it.

Thanks for the response.
