I laughed when the CNN headline was "Food for Nukes."

I completely agree with this. I have been saying it for years and it gets people very angry. This is definitely a view that a minority of people that I talk to believe. Even most working class people think that the super rich drive the economy it just isn't true anymore. I think it may have been when the country was in it's early stages and mining our resources and developing infrastructure was a larger portion of our economy. I believe now that our economy is driven by the masses of consumers. Give the poor a billion dollars and a billion dollars gets put back into the economy that year. Give the rich a billion dollars and and a billion dollars goes into a mutual fund. The later has far less of an economic impact.
