Markets are primarily driven by big money folks
Big money folks--hedge funds, mutual funds, and billionaires--think everything is hunky dory. They got their trillions of tax cuts for the rich, they're rolling in money, and their Klan Messiah is getting his way on everything. Life is beautiful.
So if the middle class is disappearing and descending into poverty, they don't see it, hear it, believe it, or care about it. They believe that they can starve the goose that lays golden eggs and still keep getting golden eggs.
