According to you. Mr. Quitter. Who cares what you think. You have no stake

in this great country.

As long as my products enter the U.S. I have a stake. There are strong, and
growing markets elsewhere however. I don't care who pays the bill, as long
as its paid. The middle class will get "poorer" as long as they maintain
the same attitudes and sloth they've had for the past 30 years. It IS self
correcting, but over a term of several generations. On the other hand, it
can be changed in MONTHS if discretion were used in purchasing habits.
