If Wall Street can make a $20.00 profit off every American in a year, then they can increase profits if there are more Americans.
If that $20.00 profit means the American people are impoverished, then that is what it means and an increase in population means more $20.00 from more Americans.
Quality of life is not a priority for Wall Street. Profit driven corporations are adverse to quality of life if there is no conscience in government to counter it.
The USA is in a very precarious spot with its economy. How does it manage to move quality of life forward for its people without crashing the economy it is recovering? Is there room for tax increases to pay down the national debt in a way that will continue the recovery of the "People's Economy?" That is the debate right now.
There is plenty of room at the top of the economy of the USA for taxes to increase. There is no reason for anyone to believe there will be an economic downturn because the wealthy has to pay more in taxes. There is sincerely no debate. The revenues for the USA has to increase and not decrease. This is not a time for cutting taxes.
President Obama and the Democrats know the national debt is a high priority and they are not about to enter into frivolous spending. The Republicans are always using the idea Democrats are 'tax and spend' to secure their political aspirations. Does anyone in the country actually believe Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi is void of the understanding of the national debt in relation to the vitality of generations of Americans? I don't believe that for a minute and I am confident she is able to protect the Middle Class.
I have found the goals of the Obama Economy inspired, quite frankly. He has managed to support Americans in need while still recovery a very stubborn economy. It is amazing we are where we are right now. He is a great leader. A great President. I trust him.
The Middle Class has to grow. It has to grow globally to sincerely have a vital and vibrant world of people comfortable with each other to stop hatred and victimization. But, that is a priority the USA does not have control over, but, can simply seek cooperation. What the USA does have control over is the outcome of its own people. When the USA Middle Class has a majority it moves a global economy regardless of other priorities abroad.
Foreign economies do put a drag on the USA economy, but, that is where the State Department makes a huge difference. The State Department is not about domestic economic growth, but, international relationships that secure the USA. The economic stability of other nations is vitally important to national security in the age of terrorist infiltration into social structures.
At any rate, the USA Middle Class has to survive and thrive. The more economic advantage the USA Middle Class has to those goals the faster the economic recover and that is why there will be contraction of the USA economy if the Middle Class is asked to pay more taxes than they are today. The economy won't disappear, but, it will contract and recover at a different rate and in a different way. We are far better off trusting the Middle Class with local economies to restore the vitality to the USA's economy and that of the global economy.
Look, have a good day. President Obama knows what he is doing, he had done his job exceptionally well and will continue to 'right the ship.' The American people are great people and we will figure it all out and move forward. Promise.
