Reply #28: Just taxing the rich more won't save the middle class.

The power of the wealthy stems from two sources: The ability to outsource your job (and thereby control your income), and the ability to limit what goods and services you can purchase by controlling availability and price (for example, by limiting your access to overpriced health care).

By continuing to buy imports rather than "buying American", and by investing your money (for those who have it) in the Ponzi scheme known as the "stock market", you continue to feed the beast that threatens you.
