Just who is it again that creates wealth?

wordywalt comments on Apr 21, 2020:

As Nobel Prize Economist Paul Krugman says, "The job creators are a growing middle class with money to spend." As well, economists in the 1970s found that the increase in economic productivity found that up to 40 percent of the post WW II boom could not be accounted for by the usual economic measures. They finally concluded that the gain was primarily the product of the GI Bill,. That it the GI Bill resulted in a huge increase in human capital -- the knowledge and skills of the labor force which is need both to produce new technologies, and to successfully implement those technologies. It is human capital which is the driving force in increased productivity and increased income. Productive education means increased productivity, ergo more income and wealth. Republicans just can't get that uidea through their thick heads.

wordywalt comments on Apr 20, 2020:

The center of my moral compass is treating all others and the environment in which we live with full dignity and respect. That which accomplish those ends is moral; that which does not is immoral. Still, we live in a world in which our choices are not always between absolute goods and evils. but between comparative goods and evils. In this world, our choices must always be between the lesser of two evils, or the better of two goods. .
