To spite those who disagree with you, your explanations are straight from any economics textbook not written to push the "Reaganomics" theory.

My Econ 101 class unfortunately used a book which should have been called Reaganomics. Luckily, I had an instructor who chose to "fortify" the information. However, I remember wanting to toss the book out of the window while reading in preparation for class.

I generally call myself a socialistic capitalist because where I live I get less flak for being gay and an Atheist than a socialist. Adding socialist might get me hung from the nearest tree.

Thanks again for the explanations.
