[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 2211096, member: 12508"] There's only one way you hit the ceiling. Keep trying, and make sure you don't get a friction burn. As bacha29 said, trickle-down is more like trickled-upon, and "the ceiling" is different for those born already behind the 8-ball. Let's compare a poor Hispanic immigrant with The Weasel. One is born rich and inherits a huge estate, while the other has nothing. Daddy paid for The Weasel to go to Yale, but our immigrant has to bootstrap his way to maybe even go to college. Under your theory, everyone can be rich if they just try hard enough. Really? Do the math and please tell me how things would be if everyone was a millionaire, which you are essentially saying is possible. Who does the labor and builds the products? The very nature of capitalism requires worker bees who produce something, either a product or a service which results in a profit for the business owner. Even if everyone went to Yale and tried their hardest, you'd still need someone to do the grunt work. In Republican/Libertarian mantra thought, we can all be rich, yet it is mathematically (and logically) impossible to be so in a capitalist or any other system. It is a pyramid, not a square where everyone is equal. [/QUOTE]
