More people should make more money. Isn't that the whole idea of your post. To get people out of poverty and make more money?
I wish I did have the link to the article. I have done several searches to find it to no avail. I will post it to you if I end up finding it, I may have read it in the local paper though.
Yes a decrease in the lower class is a good thing....but it is a bad thing too if it happens all at once. Inflationary value jumps by leaps and bounds if it all hapens at once and makes for an unbalance economy again and devalues te dollar again. This is how we get to the point of paying $4 for a loaf of bread etc. Yeah you may be a millionaire today but the millionaire of today is the same as a guy with $100,000 five years ago (example).
I have to get out of here right now to go look at a house (ironic isn't it?) but I will see about procuring that article for you because it really was a pretty well written article with only some minor bias in the text..nothing I would see as swaying the outcome of the poll though.
