You do realize that neither one of us is an economist. We are both seeing the part of the economy we interact with.

You want money to go to the start-up internet types of business through business loans.

I want money to go to people who build and make stuff.

I would rather the government created incentives to get the rich to put their money where they think it would do the most good, not force them into putting it where they have to.

I am not an economist but I am quite aware of economics and business, being a business owner in an extremely competitive field.

You’re missing the point. It’s not about internet startups, that’s simply one example. I want a coutnry that doesn’t have a gigantic wage gap and wildly wealthy haves and destitute have-nots, I want a country with a thriving middle class because that’s how that country becomes strong.

it becomes strong when there are many many many people in the middle class..

You know the income disparity in America is skyrocketing, right?

How does that make our country strong? How can it possibly?
