Warren Buffett presents a lucid rationale;
A short quiz: If you plan to eat hamburgers
throughout your life and are not a cattle producer,
should you wish for higher or lower prices
for beef? Likewise, if you are going to buy a car
from time to time but are not an auto manufacturer,
should you prefer higher or lower car prices?
These questions, of course, answer themselves.
The rich have money working for them; the poor and the middle class are going to work for money.
