The fact that the Rich spend their money is not a consolation prize for the oppression of the working class.
What oppression?
The oppression that results in a nation with the wealth of the US having millions of working class households needing 2 fulltime jobs to keep up with the increasing costs of middle class American way of life, for starters.
maybe if the middle class quit voting for more and more government, they wouldn't have to pay for so much government. the middle class way of life has become a massive teat sucking activity
Have you forgotten? 47% of Americans pay no federal income taxes and the conservative consensus is that their taxes should be RAISED,
you know, that 'skin in the game' canard. So don't be bullshitting about taxes.
Low wages increase government spending. You need more good paying jobs here to raise people out of the social safety net.
