Your economic theory is hilarious/brilliant! I love it. :)
I'm not rich, but I have always been rewarded by buying the best
efficiency and/or quality I can possibly afford and taking care of them.
They take care of me in return. I buy energy efficient things because it
fits in my overall philosophy and view of what I should be doing as part
of the world around me. We humans, Americans especially, tend to view
things short term. I'm not a tree hugging nut, but I try to make good
choices.
