The medium rich will suffer as you mentioned if there was a huge financial crisis. But that handful of people standing behind him have all the money they would ever need without us buying anything or even if we all died.
I agree we definitely need a social safety net. It is terrible what they are doing to take it away. Thank you for your thoughtful input.
