"the bottom 80% spends more than its income, year in and year out. Only the top 20% consistently saves."

Shocking that it took so long for a mouthpiece to come too a conclusion like this. I've said it too myself several times that money is a zero sum game, what comes in goes out just like that in the blink of an eye untill the next sucker comes along for the ride and bail you out. Consider how illiquid younger generations are becoming compared to there parents I only assume this ratio to savings will get even wider making us rely on even more loans to hold us afloat from poverty induced mediocrity.

Banks transfer liabilities to there customers who in turn transfer there newly found assets to the stock market.

Banks get a monthly interest

Stocks get more liquidity

You get a combination of assets and liabilities. Your just a middle man assuming that your investments can do better then you and the bank.
