How exactly do the poor and middle-class consume more than their
income?  Are they living off their savings ?  Or are you not counting
forced economic redistribution to the poor as "income" ?  (by the way,
that's the mistake that people always make when they talk about
Americans living under the poverty line...they don't include all of
the redistribution and off-the-books economic activity, after which
almost every American lives above the poverty line).
