Both of these seem to be ignoring why “Wall Street” ends up with so much money to begin with.

Years ago it was determined that Americans ought to buy into the idea of putting their savings in stocks and bonds.

Once you buy into that, then of course the system which works on that will become really, really large and powerful.

If you have a retirement fund (that is not government), then you are the end customer of “Wall Street“‘s “fraud”.

Damn fine point. Add in the Republicans wanted to turn Social Security over to Wall Street.

Remember when a kid could get 5% on a local bank’s savings account? Banks had to work for their money then. Good strong investment. Now everything is driven to them by the points you are making.

Savings accounts??? What the hell are those? Nothing in them. Even retirement accounts have low rates.
