But it kind of goes against the story that this is “the people” against Wall Street. “The people”, by and large, do not have a ton of spare gambling money sitting around. “Upper middle class folks with spare disposable income vs Wall Street” isn’t quite as persuasive a hook, though.

But one could argue the upper middle class's interests are aligned with the lower class. So it's “upper middle class folks with spare disposable income on behalf of everyone else vs Wall Street”, which is such a mouthful that "the people vs Wall St" is probably close enough.

Certainly. It takes money to make money. That rule hasn’t changed yet.

Many of societies big issues are intertwined so hopefully addressing one partially addresses many. The golden rule is particularly nasty: those with the gold make the rules.
