Yes X,
But I am not surprised because in this system of government, which is fine with me, we can, as a society always produce more than we can consume.. Because to make a profit for their employer, a worker always has to produce more than s(he) can buy back.. Well to keep the ball rolling, the employer, has to "loan money" to the worker so they can keep buying back at the "company store"..
To make a long story short, eventually, the "richest" wind up with all the money, from their profits on the widgets, they made, plus the interest on ALL the money
the employees borrowed from the "bosses"..
Eventually, a parabolic relationship, a blowoff between producing and consuming is reached, when all the wealth is concentrated in a few hands, and then we have to work off this over capacity.. So we minions hunker down with a few nuts, we have stored, hopefully, until we use up everything and start all over again, the Kondrieff <sp> cycle.. (all great depressions have been preceeded by this "wealth concentration")
So we are hunkering down... <g>
