Maybe tanking teh markets wouldn't affect you, but it won't just affect Wall Street. Where do you think union pension money is? How about the retirement savings of ordinary Americans? How about college endowments (and thus the capacity of colleges to offer financial aid)? Or can union workers, the middle class, and struggling students all just more folks about whom you don't give a damn?
