Perceptions of "Main Street" and "Wall Street"


This picture is the visualization of the divide between Main Street and Wall Street which still exists five years after the financial crisis and four years after the end of the Great Recession. The Wall Streeters have to be controlled because they represent "biker capitalism". No rules for the road. Main Street feels they need protection regardless of whether the threat is real. The image of the finance world has to be changed. The finance industry is vital for the future growth of the US. The financial share of profits  in the economy was too large pre-crisis, but it should not be shrunk as a vindictive policy.
