A booming stock market is required for our entire economy to work. 10% of the Federal Budget each year comes from capital gains taxes alone. There’s more than twice as much wealth concentrated in the stock market (30 trillion) than in home equity (14 trillion). Every Pension, 401k, IRA, 529, and Index fund is depenedant on rising stock prices. That’s why it’s rigged to go up no matter the weather or the politics or the economy.
