wealth is not currency or money, wealth is land, and capital of which the workers have nearly none. workers dont create land or capital, they work. they sell their time and sweat for what they can get in the hopes that someday they might get a shot at the big time.
only workers create demand? i never bought a yacht, yet yachts are made and sold eery day, i never bought a european sports car and yet i see them drivin around...
No poor person ever hired me to trim their trees, clean their pool or dig them a new basement. no poor person or "worker" ever paid me to build a "real liflelike rustic style barn" on their 15 acre estate that never grew a crop, or raised a single head of livestock.
the wealthy, due to their wealth, are able to indulge their whims, like payin me to build a barn as a decoration, or trim their orange trees whose fruit is never picked. poor folks dont do these kinds of retarded things because they cant afford to. when you squeeze the rich, they can easily spend less simply by NOT indulging their fancies, and as a result, fewer swimming pools get built, less art gets bought, fewer cars get motored around the country and thus need fewer repairs, fewer yachts get built fewer fancy barn shaped decorations get built, and fewer wineries, organic lettuce farms or "cattle ranches" are started for the whims of hollywood dilettantes with grand imaginations and no real agricultural knowledge. it's sad yes, but our economy is largely dependent on paris hilton wasting the wealth her grandparents worked hard to build, and Keanu Reeves deciding to become a vintner in napa. Poor folks are poor, thus they have no capital to invest in land, livestock or luxury cars. if the rich stop buying these things and "live simply, so that others might simply live" people without capital will still have no capital, people with no land still have no land, and the wealthy will simply gain more wealth by holding onto their profits rather than spending them on retarded flights of fancy!
