"If Henry Ford wanted to make the decision for HIS business to try to "trickle up" money, that's fine. His prerogative. Because Ford was willing to sacrifice his own business for his employees. A noble thing."

"nobility" had nothing to do with it. Ford wasn't moving enough cars, because too few people could afford to buy them. Study some history, clown. Ford's employees all wanted to BUY one of the cars they made.

For a consumer-based economy to succeed, the consumers need enough disposable income to buy things. OUR economy is 70% based on consumption.
