You can try to regulate it like FDR did. But notice that America is right back to where we were in the 1st RepubliCON Great Depression when it comes to wealth distribution. We crashed back then and we are going to crash again. It's a feature of capitalism.
The only way out is a new type of economy.
It's more than taking what little someone else has. It's about using your capital to its fullest extent. Yeah, it means the poor suffer and suffer but they had the bad luck to be born without capital. It's a feudal system in many ways. But it's what America signed up for when they chose to save capitalism from itself in 1933.
