Explain the logic? What a great country!

I read this reply/comment on the web the other day.

“HugoPh
Typical GOP and Cons!! Find the multimillionaire that used family influence to avoid the Military (W, Romney) and elect them while disparaging the real American! When will Repubtards wake up and realize that prior to Reagan 12 Billioanires existed in the U.S. After Reagan's 8 years over 100 and now post W over 440!! The GOP serves their Billionaire base well and the mindless lemmings follow! “

There are so many things wrong with this comment that it is hard to know where to start. I wonder where this person thinks all of that money came from? Stolen from the hard working poor and middle classes? The American economy is not a zero sum game where for one to win the other must lose. It is a win win game. The poor in America have a standard of living equal to middle class Europeans. Many own their own home and most own their own car. Studies also show that there are fewer people now in the poor and middle class because they are moving upward, not downward, upward.

What a great country; where everyone has the opportunity to work hard, make good choices, and create or become anything they want.

Isn't the fact that so many billionaires were created in such a short amount of time evidence that the presidents did something right with the economy?

Won't matter now with Romney out of the race. That person can now go and vote for the Demo billionaire, Hillary. What did she just cyphen into her coffers? $6 million? Oh, that's right...

Yes, it is good to be rich. I would agree with that. Here is the neat thing about all that wealth creation. What do you think all those new billionaires and millionaires do with all that money? They invest it, they put it in banks, and they spend it. They invest it in companies and that creates jobs. They put it in banks who lend it to others to create more jobs. They spend it on goods and services which creates even more jobs. That money is not static, they don't bury it in coffey cans in the back yard and hoard it, it flows back into the economy to work for others and put others to work.
