Live within your means. That means no purple mustangs.
Why wouldn't the upper crust of society enjoy all the wealth growth? They're the ones that own the businesses that the other classes pour their paychecks into (ie the dealerships, the restaurants, the liquor stores, the nightclubs).
Why should they not benefit? They're the ones who were smart enough to put themselves into that position. While others waste their paychecks making payments on all those toys they can't afford they purchased businesses or properties. Smart.
If you gave up reading the thread why did you post in it? Your left-wing bleatings are so predictable. If this is such a problem, then what is your proposed solution? Go ahead and think it over, come back when you have one. And don't say taxes. That's been tried many times - the rich are smart enough and hire the best accountants and lawyers to avoid paying those. Just ends up hurting the middle class more and creating a bigger gap between the 1% and everyone else.
