    Don’t almost all financial people agree that there needs to be some bottom level distribution to work? Cause it would seem the people hoarding all the wealth don’t understand if they have enough of it it’s actually worthless?

      This is also correct, but a different problem.

      If there isnt enough money moving in circulation, it typically means that people are saving it for hardship rather than spending, which is in turn a sure sign of a poor economy.

      The rich assholes at the top have been able to basically trust that smarter people will handle policies to prevent a major depression. Anyone that was old enough to remember the last one is dead now. Anyone that lives quarter to quarter doesn’t care about market conditions 90 years ago.
