I don't know HOW they save 50%, that's just the reported AVERAGE number. They make 4% of what an average American makes and manage to save 50% of it. That's amazing if you ask me. I'm just saying we have a structural problem. Little tweaks are not going to fix it. We need to reduce the size and spending by government at least to where it has no deficit. We need to change to where we tax consumption instead of work and savings if we want to decrease imports and increase savings. At the same time that change would reduce the incentive to outsource because it would reduce cost for domestic manufacture and increase the prices of imports which currently bear zero tax load.
I totally agree with you on reducing the size of the government. I'm actually thinking of switching parties over this issue!
