That's more like it. The top of this sub-thread comes awfully close to "workers of the world, unite," which is literally a communist slogan.
The markets are being used as weapons. They can crash it, get bailed out by taxpayer money, and do it all over again. Bankers, hedge funds, and politicians make tons of money, everyone else gets fucked. We're looking at 2008 unfold again in real time, except it's transparent and everyone is watching.
It's not a class issue. It's a power issue. We let the government have too much power. Banks and government work together to fuck everyone, and crash a market once every decade or so.
And we don't even have the power to say "no" anymore. That power would have been to stop paying income taxes, everyone in the country, all at once. But we have withholding, so we pay taxes before we even make the money. And we can't even vote anymore, either. And after this, no more access to financial markets. Everyone see where this is going?

Where it always goes:
Feudalism.
Panzers rolling on Poland, but it's Canada this time.
