Does QE Cause Wealth Inequality?
How have people not caught onto this yet?<p>When the Fed prints money, its a guaranteed bet that assets go up. The rich use their wealth and huge amounts of leverage via financial instruments to generate massive returns. This has been going on for a long time. Literally all you need to do is throw your whole bank account into call options. Working a 200k-300k a year job is almost a waste of time with how much money they are printing. This is how the wealthy see it, your small paycheck (yes 300k a year is small) is a joke within the context of financial leverage.<p>Just to reiterate, you are better off risking everything in financial markets and sitting at home watching those assets very closely than you are working.
