Yes, yes. And why is America a consumer nation? Because it doesn't invest in capital gooRAB which are pretty much the only way to actually make stuff... you know, like what successful countries like Germany and Switzerland do. It's a bubble economy based off taking loans from nations that produce stuff and redistributing it around.
Good idea. Rather than encourage a shift to a more reasonable economic model, you should encourage Shaquanda to buy rims rather than give Dow Chemical a tax break to build a plant making chemicals in America. Nevermind that the rims were probably sold in Wal-Mart and were made in China and that Dow Chemical's investment in capital gooRAB is better in the long run. No. All consumption on anything is a same.
So the rim companies go bust, but Americans who aren't worthless get money to save, which increases available capital. Savings are good too you know... countries which have economies right now which don't suck were the ones with high savings rates (Germany, Switzerland, the NetherlanRAB.) Bubble service economy is better, obviously.
