Yes, I think at this point it's really just a difference of opinion as to what the effects of BI would be. My view is that the marginal utility of those dollars spent by the high end on investments is lower than the marginal utility of increased consumption at the low end, especially as the actual amounts involved are not that big. I guess the best way to resolve the issue would be experimental validation! ;-)
