Yes, it extends to the very richest of our nation wanting to live in this great country, while trying to get very single penny they can out of the economy, and screw anyone else. Especially the poor, the have nots, the hungery.

The rich are having a very bad time ... they have hoarded most of the money in the economy, 1.2 Trillion dollars. That means there is no money left for the other 90% to purchase their goods and services.

Of course, if your job is to make money by gambling (Wall Street) which way the country goes doesn't matter, as you can make as much money in the destruction of an empire as you can during the creation.
