This. The amount of labor required to build a $100,000 car versus a $20,000 is minimal, compared to the amount of labor required to build 5 $20,000 cars versus one $100,000 car. The middle class will consume more than the wealthy, because there are more middle class. That's more money continuing to flow through the economy, instead of being socked away.

Call the ultra wealthy what they really are: hoarders.
