>>508704917 (OP)You have to understand WHY. I hate doing this wall of text bullshit but it's the best summary to understand why.
If you genuinely tried to help the middle class — raise wages, restore purchasing power, make housing affordable — the system would break.
That’s not an exaggeration. That’s structural reality in a fiat debt-based, financialized system.
Why Helping the Middle Class Breaks the System
Let’s say you tried to actually fix things:
1. Make Housing Affordable?
Requires asset deflation
That would collapse mortgage-backed securities, pension funds, and bank collateral
The Fed would panic and inject liquidity to prevent affordability
2. Raise Wages Meaningfully?
Increases consumer demand
Triggers wage-price spiral fears
Forces interest rates up
Debt servicing becomes unpayable across government, corporate, and personal sectors
Credit markets seize recession layoffs
3. Reduce Costs (Healthcare, College)?
Cuts into major profit centers (Big Pharma, insurance, student loan servicers)
These are deeply tied into financial markets and political lobbying
Real cost reform = stock crashes, layoffs, political blowback
4. End QE / Stop Bailing Out Wall Street?
Asset bubbles deflate
“Too big to fail” institutions get exposed
Retirement portfolios collapse
Political suicide
