'If the rich or the middle class don't spend the money (at the restaurant), that would put me very much in danger.’

If the Middle class no longer exists, you'll go under anyway mate.

Just saying.

"There are no classes in America. We are a country that don't allow for titles."

[underlankers]

Ironically the bit about not allowing for titles is one of those true but irrelevant statements. The Constitution *does* forbid US citizens from taking on titles of nobility, due to an archaic fear of nobles that reflects its 18th Century origins. The problem of course is that Santorum doesn't know what he's talking about 99.9^infinite power of the time and has half truths the rest of the time.

No, it stops the government from giving out titles of nobility, and bars members of government from receiving them or other gifts from foreign powers absent Congressional consent. The Queen could knight you with no problems, or the Sultan of Oman could grant you a fiefdom if he wanted.
