        Low interest rates also hurt the working class. It’s a contributing factor to the massive increase in housing prices. No matter how things go, the rich will always win out at the expense of everyone else.

          I don’t understand this logic… low interest rates means it’s easier to borrow, which most poor people have to do to get anything. I think most cars have monthly payments right? Rate goes up- payment goes up. Richard Wolff talks about this alot on the socialist program. But you’re right in saying the rich are not impacted. Because they generally have savings and benefit from high interest rates.
