"That’s a key distinction – we want pressure on the rich
and wealth-holders to do something with their wealth. Invest it, build and
not just stockpile it.  This isn’t making the wealthy feel happy so they’ll
invest, it is putting pressure on the wealthy."

Yes do something, anything with your money. Here are ultra-low rates: Make
faulty investments. Speculate in commodities, find a real estate bubble to
inflate  Turn the United States into a hedge fund--low US rates lead to
risky portfolio abroad; foreign central banks respond to currency
appreciation by purchasing US government bonds. Or perhaps commit yourself
fully to privatizing public eduction. Corey Robin is asking a difficult
question in a time of panic. There may well be misplaced confidence in what
the wealthy do with their money as pressure is put on them.  There is also
little concern with the impacts on small savers.
