I mean, those of us at the bottom live in rugged capitalism, to an extent, but anyone with wealth in or from Wall St is feeding from the corporate welfare trough that is, most assuredly, dooming all life on earth.

But sure, Wall St is good for many in our country and around the globe, as long as they are mostly white, mostly rich or preferably, both.

The more those with the most are invested, the more the least, on behalf of them, are molested.
