[quote=flu]Well, I guess the average person doesn’t understand when wall street stops investing in main street….Main street businesses go under, and then that 4-5% unemployment ends up being much worse… And for those folks that think things can’t possibly get worse, obviously they haven’t been financially decimated enough to understand.[/quote]I don’t think that would ever happen. After all, if wall street stop investing in main street, then they would put the final nail in their coffin. The people will be broke and they get even more mad. Comes out with pitch forks and demand to take back to $$ from Wall Street. So, really, I don’t think it will ever get to that.
Main Street and some version of “Wall Street” have always had a symbiotic relationship. One can’t live w/out the other. However, just because that’s the case doesn’t mean we shouldn’t try to root out corruptions and crony capitalism. Business as usual is what brought on the Trump’s coalition and it will only get worse unless we listen to their grievances and make the economy work for all.
