Yes someone has to be on the bottom of the ladder, but they have to have enough money to go shopping. Otherwise, the middle gets hit, which is what's happening now. Think of 10% of your customers unable to afford your products, and there being no growth in the market.

Money flows up. The biggest company in the US is Walmart. Where will that be if more people can afford to shop there?

Or fewer?
