    The stock market has existed in some form or another, in many different nations, since long before there was a United States of America. Did it prevent the middle class from forming here in the first place?

          LOL. Tools do whatever the **** tools want to do unless regulations tell them to do otherwise. It's not the tool, or how it's used, it's how the tool is regulated.

            Tax policy both created the middle class (FDR) and then destroyed it (Reagan). Steep progressive taxation gives the next generation a chance. Flatter taxation merely lets the rich's money overwhelm everything. Bribery and the capture of the government by the rich inevitably follows.

            The last 150 years, ever since industrialization first exploded American GDP, has been an attempt by the 1% to monopolize the profit and make the other 99% into serfs. First they won (the Gilded Age), then they lost (the Progressive Era), then they won (the Lochner Era), then they lost big (The New Deal), and then they won big (Reaganomics). The reversal to their next loss is inevitable. The only question is will they realize it themselves and step it down willingly, will a political force rise to throttle them, or will our politics fail and the correction will be violent. Those are the only three possible outcomes.

              For obvious reasons it pains me to say this, but this is a great protest.

                Well companies and people in general don't seem to understand that they're just shooting themselves in the foot, specifically the retail/restaurant industry. What Kepler said about Henry Ford being a great example, we live in a consumer based economy and the lower/middle class spend most of their money on tangible goods. It's also the largest component of GDP. If you just keep shipping their jobs overseas or eroding workers' rights in terms of unions you're basically doing just that.

                And yeah you're probably right, doing those things and shooting yourself in the foot probably does raise the value of a stock in a lot of cases at the expense of all else.

                            Mnuchin expressed hope that the plan could win support from some Democrats in Congress, saying, "this is all about middle-income tax cuts and putting people back to work and making business competitive, so we hope that there are Democrats that cross the aisle and support this. This is good for America, good for the economy."
