And the richest ten percent own most of the stock in those credit card companies and banks.Total bullshit. People owe money to credit card companies, student loans and banks not rich individuals.
Bloomberg - Are you a robot?
"The lending from rich to poor can be indirect.
"For example, let’s say a rich person buys shares issued by a company.
"The company stashes the proceeds in a bank.
"The bank in turn makes a loan to a non-rich person to buy a car or a house.
"The borrowers have a higher propensity to spend than the lenders, but they have less money to spend because part of their income goes to debt service."
