I assume your facts are accurate, but the line of reasoning would suggest cutting off one's head to stop a nose bleed. I blame it all on TV and advertising. The average American has foolishly spent his future for trivial pursuits in the present.
As far as I know, the average person hasn't done too well under marxist governments either, which murdered more of their own citizens in the last century that were killed by enemies in all the wars.

or so are hostile to wealth creation and therefore Pantera ownership.

Ron,
In the mid 80's my marginal federal tax rate was 50%, in the early 80's
the highest rate was 70%. It's 35% now. Cap gains rates are at all time lows,
too. Interest rates are also lower.
Recent reports I've seen are that the rich are getting much richer but it
has not trickled down to the lower 95% of the population. According to L.
Zingales, a professor at the conservative Univ of Chicago Booth School of
Business, in the last 25 years, GDP grew by 100% but median personal income
only grew 17%. The richest 1% saw their income triple. Check it out.
In just the first 4 years of the Bush administration, the size of
government grew 33%. And just a reminder, the federal bailout being implemented by
the Obama administration was actually put in place by Bush's Sec'y of the
Treasury, Henry Paulson, a Goldman Sachs alum.
BTW, do you have health insurance?
