Time will tell.

In 2000, the richest 2% of Americans owned as much as the poorest 95% and that's really about average with industrial nations. Since Dubya took office that has changed from the richest 1% now owns as much as the poorest 98% which is far higher then any other country.

Huge debt, fighting wars for profit, moving full time workers to part time and attacking civil rights will all hit the economy hard. Probably right after the next election. Even though every fact will point to a terrible thing happening the news stations will keep telling us things are fine. Lucky for our leaders Americans are one of the most poorly educated industrial societies.

The economy won't affect the business that much. When people have money they buy everything but when people don't have money they don't spend $100 at bars trying to get laid every Friday night. Instead they spend $20 a month and rub.
