The thought would seem to make sense... in practice, it doesn't... while avoiding partisanship of perspectives, today's cultural context allows for the distraction from constructive reasoning and a stronger focus on what's good for ME in lieu of traditional economic thought that one would affect the other in either inverse or complimentary responses... Our economic thought simply doesn't include an element of shared responsibility or predictability in supply / demand assessment. As stated above, the 'taking' of profitability curves bend toward keeping any gain in margin, etc , and not participating in a re-investment of excess into the employment of production resources and people...that denies the purposeful reason for a successful macroeconomic plan, as a nation, simply by prima facie evidence.
