6. K&R The more within Wall St, the more outside that go without.

There are people who take the plight of minorities, of the least, at home and abroad, seriously, and there are those who benefit and benefit from Wall St.

The more wealth and power corporations acquire, the more individuals that finance them and provide fiduciary cover, the more others will suffer long term pain for their personal choice of selfish and short term pleasure for themselves over the needs of the many.

They do not care. From raising seas to raging fires, from dismantling education to denying health care, destruction is all they know how to profit from. When individuals are at their most vulnerable, you can bet a corporation and its associated owners will be there, en masse, to try to take full advantage of them.

It is why they remind me so much of the Bundy freaks. The more invested, the more that rally around and align themselves with the goals of Wall St, the more lobbying and political power they wield, the more of our common fields they can tear down the fences around and unleash massive herds of corporate free grazers to fill their coffers.
