People always say that small businesses are the backbone but most rich people to patron those small businesses. They patronize select businesses that most people cant afford. They are clustered in communities and send their kids to private schools so their tax dollars are concentrated in small towns.

But they have the most influence.

Paying taxes don't got shyt to do with the economy. And the running companies theory is a cop out. Job growth is stagnant and a lot of those companies you speak of have learned to work more with less man power. Large corporations are at the mercy of shareholders and could give two fukks about employee growth.

And then you have that percentage of rich that accumulated wealth through inheritance, earned interests and wall street. They don't contribute shyt except for maybe the nanny, and housekeeper sector.

There are more middle and lower class Americans who consume locally plain and simple. The wealthy live in a different bubble, different reality, different economy than everyone else.
