Well as long as there is INEQUALITY,no, everyone cannot be rich! Do you think the rich want everyone to be rich? They don't. Is that even possible?The opportunities to be rich,(at least not in countries like the U.S.) is not "there for everyone." THAT is a fantasy. And you haven't said anything I have not heard already. That's almost as simple minded as a 'get rich quick' person telling someone to sell their house, an invest their money, and then they'll be rich! No problem. People who think like this, seem to forget that not everyone has a house they can sell, and may not even be in any position to get one, for the next 30 years! The country is divided into different classes, for a reason. Upper class, middle class, and lower class. The upper class has to keep the the middle class, and the lower class down, in order to maintain their lifestyle, and to maintain their power. Notice that it is the rich, and not the middle class, and the lower class, who control everything? The middle class has to stay on top of the lower class, to maintain their lifestyle. But the upper class have the upper hand, over everyone. You always see middle class and lower class people in the streets, (like labor unions) picketing the rich, who control everything. How often do you see the rich picketing the middle class, and the lower class? All the rich mostly get upset about is their taxes. Things like healthcare, and stuff, don't really bug them too much.
Even if the rich do employ 90% of the public, etc., a lot of them would not even be wealthy if they didn't have people working in factories building their products, and stuff. Donald Trump can't build all that real estate by himself. Henry Ford couldn't build all those cars all by himself. That's why they panic when workers go on strike. Because if they are are not working, then they (the rich) don't make money. It's only "class warfare" when the wealthy are asked to make sacrifices, like everyone else. Where were the cries of "class warfare" when the rich was getting richer, and the middle class and everyone else was losing everything, and getting poorer? The rich should pay higher taxes, because they can afford it. They are not the ones losing everything. It is mostly the rich who hide their money in off-shore bank accounts. The middle class, and the lower class, are losing their jobs, and their homes, etc. They are the ones who need a break. The rich only make up a tiny part of the population. The middle class, and the lower class, make up the majority of the population. When the majority of the population is losing everything, and is not spending money, then you can prety much count on the economy tanking. John McCain has what? Seven houses, or something? I bet he hasn't lost any of his houses, because he couldn't afford them. Some people can't even afford to hold on the one house. Of course the uber-rich like John McCain think the "fundamentals of the economy are strong", because he probably hasn't been affected by the bad economy. He wouldn't know the difference. No wonder people like him, are so out of touch. By the way, not everyone wants to be rich. Some people just want to be able to keep their jobs, and survive without having to struggle so hard. Just more freeper garbage.
