Okay, I'm not trying to argue, but I do have a question or two and there seem to be some greater fiscal minds here than mine.

1. Does GDP stay static (the actual dollars) regardless of the tax percentage on the rich, are these two things completely separate?

2. MaFoo - Are you suggesting that because the rich can change the economy that we shouldn't tax them, or cut down taxes to virtually nothing because we'll end up making the same amount of money? Because then we end up with the rich holding us hostage instead of the government, I don't want either of those scenarios.

3. How do you feel the government should deal with this? I feel more regulation on wages would be nice personally, and maybe a "Hey, Americans, don't buy cheap junk from Wal-Mart" TV campaign would help the squeeze too.

This is just my two cents, and like I said, I am not a great economical mind, so I'm probably waaaay off base.
