I cant believe I am getting into this....but lets talk about "trickle-down economics" or as I love to call it "Reaganomics...the true reason that Bill Clinton is as popular as he is"......
Understand that I love politics, but I don't debate them in an open forum normally because it always seems like I am bashing when I am simply pointing out my opinions....but here goes nothing
The problem in your little senario Punkworld is that this is what would have happened in a real world scenario....
Man #3 would eat Meal # 5 for one year while he saved his $25 per day.....at the end of a year he would start a new company called "Man #3's Half Priced Meals" because he figured out a way to grow the Meals for pennies on the dollar instead of buying them from the neighboring village like they had done for the last hundred years. Then he would hire Men #8, 9, and 10 and still pocket $132.50 at the end of the day for himself.
In this scenario, with the same amount of money everyone is living better off......
It is deep....think about it.....
