I'm sorry to say it... but the rich are going to have to give up some of their incredible success of the past 30 years and start investing back into the U.S. before we all end up in the poor house.
Sorry, Snowguy, but what the rich have is not 'success', it is privilege. Success implies they did something for the wealth, or 'deserve' it, when in fact it was just taken from the poor for them by the State.
...Even the poor are pretty rich in the US, especially when compared to countries like Brazil and Mexico.
Not relative to the cost of living, cinyc. If your income is zero in the US, you are about $10 short of a proper meal, compared to maybe $1 in the third world. Similarly you are about $700 short of having a home to sleep in, while the thirdworlder is only about $70 short. (but of course the point is moot, you die wherever you are with an income of zero).
