You can love or loathe Wall Street and the whole machinery of investment capitalism. Both passions have deep American roots. But the reality is, every person living in the U.S. is heavily indebted to the traders, bankers, and brokers who fund our business start-ups, fill our retirement accounts, finance our factories and buildings, and keep our economy balanced and humming. If you have a mortgage, work at a corporation, save money for college, or buy the products of a new company, you are a beneficiary of America's super-efficient, hyper-creative financial sector.

Even if you are living on charity, you are indebted to Wall Street--perhaps more than anyone. Thanks ...
