glow,

I totally agree. On several occasions he has mentioned the "Wealth Effect" as if it was a crime for the average joe to secure a little nest egg for a more comfortable retirement. He talked of "Over-exhuberance" and targeted investors to ensure that this sudden wealth could be curtailed.

In essence, what he is saying is that it is easier to control an economy which has a small percentage of wealthy upper class, a small percentage of unemployed and beggars, and a large working class to support the beggars and the filthy rich. As the working class was enriching itself, it posed a problem as it destabilized his myopic archaeic view of economics.
