u forgot to look at the economy as a whole,if the bottom 30 percent working class are impoverished and become sliver thin and the middle class are becoming dangerously thin,and the economy becomes top heavy,it will topple and crash.u cannot have a healthy economy without a healthy middle class and a decent working class to support it.if there are no consumers,there can be no business.walmart and many other corporations have began to notice this trend developing in the late 80s and 90s and have acknowledged this problem though not publicly.....take walmart for example.a economy is like symbiosis between businesses and workers,when walmart enters a new rural or suburban community,it competes with various local mom and pop stores and eateries and cafes and small businesses driving them out of business,but after some time of garnishing and extracting the wealth of the local community,walmart notices the local community becomes too impoverish to support the walmart,after all walmart brings nothing but lowly paid minimum wage drones with few or little benefits that the workers have to rely on welfare and public healthcare system to support their families and raise their children,instead of small local businesses supporting many jobs and workers and the local community,all walmart does is extract wealth to feed its corporate greed.....eventually the community becomes too impoverish to support the walmart any longer,and it goes out of business leaving an empty barren desolate carpark and a once thriving community.
this cycle is becoming faster and faster now in the internet age,businesses such as amazon and facebook are extracting wealth at a phenomenal rate without really adding any value in real life.unlike companies that produces real goods and services that help raise our standards of living.and the internet age happens at a even faster rate,in a matter of years rather then decades like traditional brick and mortar businesses like walmart.
