Wall Street is a "rigged" game designed to benefit the few at the expense of the rest. It's a "closed" system. I italicize "closed" because, theoretically, anyone can gain some degree of access if they are willing and able to gain the education, mold themselves to the proper form, and put forth the effort.
But for the (way over) 99%, the financial system is designed to skim a vig off of everything. Makes leeches look like rookie parasites.
Huge difference between the money made producing useful products, and money made churning commodities futures and derivatives. Ought to be treated differently taxwise, in some manner.
