Are you joking? Poor people are the exploitative ones? That's just entirely false

The entire basis of capitalism in the US is that the work of the poor is exploited by those with the capital to build factories and businesses which extract labor and resources from the poor people

That's why they can't invest. You have it entirely backwards

Exactly. Most of a poor person's income will be spent locally every paycheck. Higher income, more is saved or sent offshore etc
