QuoteIf workers have more money, businesses have more customers. Which makes middle-class consumers, not rich businesspeople like us, the true job creators. Which means a thriving middle class is the source of American prosperity, not a consequence of it. The middle class creates us rich people, not the other way around.

So true, so true. Income and wealth distribution is the most exaggerated it's been in a hundred years. It's the super-rich industrial magnate era all over again, but the industry is now software. At least it doesn't pollute the air.
