The USA has the greatest income inequalities in the world,save Brazil.
 The top 10% have 90% of the total wealth ,thats over 30 million people .

Inequalities exist in a democracy.  Not everyone is going to be rich.  It's in more or less equilibrium.  It is what it is.  Got something better?

One thing to keep in mind is, these high end manufacturers are selling to a world market. I know of one who told me  his best customers are in Brazil. Take a look at Magnepan's ads in the magazines ... "Made in America, sold in China." With emerging economies comes disposable income. Then there are the ultra-wealthy oligarchs in Russia, China ... and more. 

Curious if anyone actually knows any sales figures for 12k - 97k amps 

geoffkait, 1. The USA is a republic NOT a democracy as evidenced by our entire political system which is totally unlike any other because our founding fathers hated democracy and said so in every possible way .

2. The Social Democracy model of capitalism of northern Europe, which are all democracies, is far superior to our dog eat dog version of capitalism .

And to save you the eternal knee-jerk ignorant remark "why don't you go there" none of them are keen to admit old men highly probable to use up funds on their universal health care systems and $ 2000 + per month for private insurance  would cause me to curtail my charitable giving which I deem more important than my personal
desires .
