The phrase *A rising tide lifts all boats* does not infer that the little boats will rise faster.
Because people are financially mobile it is hard to apply class philosophy to the issue.

"Aggregate Demand" can of course build an economy, but "Aggregate Supply" of capital is of course NONSENSE...
/sarcasm.
your summation is delightfully succinct bro.
people with big fat sacks of cash in matresses or buried in coffee cans in the back yard are letting their money rot away through inflation, while "investing" in even a savings account with 2-3% interest can at least hold inflation at bay while the bankers put that money to work which will of course drive more economic activity, causing that money to actually GROW, even after the bankers take their cut.
meanwhile, when GOVERNMENT takes that money and redistributes it, every dime gets fondled caressed, and molested by numerous bureaucrats who each shave off a little piece for themselves until that dime, when it finally hits the streets, is now a nickel.
but bankers eventually handle EVERY dime, and take their cut, so the magic of compound interest and exponential mathematics ensures that bankers will never be poor.
/sarcasm
thats just WRONG! we should hang them by their toes and beat them with iron rods, then put a group of highschool dropouts and financially illiterate Occupy-Tards in their place to manage those institutions, then you'll REALLY see some Progress*
