The rich do not invest back into the economy. That's a campaign trail lie we've all been fed. They amass and hold wealth, very little of which contributes to the economy.

The poor and middle class are the largest commodity buyers, usually from the companies owned by the exceedingly wealthy, who by and large invest their money away from commodities.

Rampant's view of the rich

Way to completely ignore both charts. Wealth can't accumulate interest if you're literally swimming in it.

What exactly do you think the wealthy contribute to the economy?

Quote:What we should have learned over the last half century is that growth doesn't trickle down from the top. It percolates upward from working people who are adequately educated, sufficiently rewarded, and who feel they have a fair chance to make it in America.
