@ Josh, Parker, CO Your elementary understanding of the economic situation in this country renders your argument null and void. These owners of assembly lines, as you put it, are executives who buy and sell stock. That's it! The wealth they've "made" for themselves had/has NOTHING to do with hard work. It's simply self-perpetuating, moving money from one enterprise to another. All this, most often at the expense of employees who DO work hard to maintain the company's success. You fools talk about "freedom" and "liberty," yet are so trusting to let executives, whom NOBODY ELECTED, make the decisions that affect the middle class and our national economy.
