5. Well
As an example, the OP was quite simple.

In your scenario, all the bank investing does is create wealth for the one while making everyone else pay interest. Interest that instead could buy more hamburgers or lumber 1,000 more times.

The simple idea is that a concentration of money in fewer hands makes for shortages for the masses.
