Are we really a beneficiary? All the economic gains seem to only be realized at the top because the owner class has perfected the art of paying us the absolute minimum we need to survive.
An excellent question, one of the few in this thread. Not really. But as long as our gas is percieved to be less expensive than most of the rest of the world, and the well paying jobs it creates to build bombs and planes and such continue to exist, it will continue be viewed as beneficial.
You are hurting the owner class. Stop!
