The stock market is merely a big part of the capitalist system, which, of course, is biased toward those who possess the most capital. I don't support the Trump tax cut - even though it will likely hurt my investments short term. And I'm not trying to defend the Obama bail out of the big banks either. All I'm saying is you need an alternative plan before you say FU to the heart of the system, the big banks, which represent the heart of the financial system. Otherwise, there will be chaos. And what results from that is martial law and most likely a CIA/FBI/military takeover of the country, which would be worse than what Obama did in terms of bailing out the banks. That doesn't make what Obama did right. But what he did was the best of all possible solutions at the time given the lack of viable alternatives. The American mindset is very one dimensional for the most part. Most Americans were opposed to the Obama bail out only because they wanted to get bailed out too. But they were too stupid to realize that the whole is greater than each of its component parts and what was needed was to attack the whole, the System and not whine like a little baby. If there was consciousness and an alternative plan thought out ahead of time, I could have easily supported the overthrow of the financial system, which is what Obama was confronted with.
