The ulimate result: the rich are getting richer at the expense of the poor and now I never said the pie was limited. Yes, you did. "The rich getting richer at the expense of the poor" does indeed by plain logic imply exactly that. Taro Message 24157715

>I never said the pie was limited. All I am saying is that the rich are taking more than their fair share. Except, of course, the pie IS limited. That's the point (and basically the definition) of the study of economics. -Z

"All I am saying is that the rich are taking more than their fair share." And "you" want to be the one that defines what "fair share" is? I don't think so.

I never said the pie was limited. All I am saying is that the rich are taking more than their fair share. You don't have a fixed pie, (even fixed for an instant, but growing over time) from which people take a share. You have a pie that is made by the people, who than get rewarded for it. Most of the participants in the "pie making process", help make sure everyone else gets more pie not less. That's why there is no "at the expense of" issue unless your limiting your comment to criminals, rent-seekers, and such.
