The inventors or the stock market have moved and will continue to move heaven and earth to keep the status quo which maintains their clout over the markets. Let us not be blind to the Wall Street propaganda that investors are in control and, therefore, make the whole system viable. The invisible people hiding behind those solid walls (not the financial consultants but the rich elite) make the system work as it should. As they caused the shutdown of the US government, they would rather let the stock market crash instead of reforming it to benefit the majority of people.
