This post is interesting and deserves a well-researched response. Given that stores from Coach to Wal-Mart are struggling, one should view Platt’s comments with some skepticism. What politicians don’t want to discuss is that the top 1% are doing well now, while the bottom 80% are not. We are still replacing higher paying jobs with lower paying ones, and inflation-adjusted median income is declining. Fundamentally, if people have less money to spend, they will spend less.
