is certainly another MAJOR step in shutting down the lower 99%, don't you think????????

Next, trashing the stock market/investments would certainly be the final Coup de Gras (AKA the final nail in the coffin)
Exactly what the last group of ROBBER BARRONS, during the GILDED AGE did to the lower 99%........

Recently re-read Steinbeck's, The Grapes of Wrath.........my take on it was much different than my 1963 reading it, in the 8th Grade.......
(and I thought Stephen King's horror stories were horrific and frightening..) Many of the Uber Wealthy....(Warren Buffet, for instance) have been selling off investments for months and going to "cash"..........
