There is no competition anymore. Prices are set. Why do you think the stock market has been booming while the working man still stuggles? The ones with money have been making more money. Do you honestly think it costs $3.50 to produce a gallon of gas? There has been a lot of profit in there. The ones that are involved all say, "it's not me".
Prices on everything has risin so much, yet wages and benefits have dropped or stayed the same, why does everything cost more?

I've been wondering about that for a long time. It seems as though the most important Western pursuit is profit, forsaking all others. And that philosophy is unsustainable, as we will soon find out. Economic growth cannot continue indefinitely, when the system is held up by printing billions in fiat currency every time we find ourselves in a jam.
The world will one day move away from the Dollar as its agreed-upon reserve currency. They said that would never happen to the pound sterling, but it did. The super-rich know this is inevitable, and as a result of that knowledge they are hoarding vast stores of wealth, in an attempt to insulate themselves from the coming storm, because as some of you already know, once we can't print ourselves out of debt, things are going to get very expensive.

Very wise,
Wealth held in fiat currency WILL become worthless, true wealth will come with tangible assets(real estate,precious metals, etc.) even skills will be valuable.
Just a matter of time.

You seem to not comprehend that business today enjoy the lowest taxes in the history of the U.S. Did they not make money before? The whole idea on lowering taxes was to spike the economy for all. That did not happen. Instead they took the money and run.
