Host, it has nothing to do with being arrogant. I just find most of your "research" irrelevant. You have an axe to grind and you do "research" to support arguments you already have in your head. Most of it has zero to do with what the actual economy looks like. I read newspapers and practice law wtih real live business people and have a pretty good idea of what is going on, and it looks nothing like what you're posting.
I don't come here to "win" arguments because there is nothing to win. This is a hobby. When it starts becoming work I'll stop posting because I have plenty of real work to do. So I'm not going to go through the Statistical Abstract of the US to "prove" what I'm saying, nor am I going to start larding my posts with long quotes from historical sources to "prove" a point that the posts don't prove. If you really think the country is run by a conspiracy of robber barons and it makes you feel better to think that, there's nothing I can say that will dissuade you because you're seriously invested in that thesis. I see from personal experience that it's not true, but you're perfectly free to believe otherwise.
