The Economy has truly highlighted the disparity between the poor and rich. I think the middle class has realized that they are a lot closer to being poor than that top 1%. For when you consider it, the only people this economy is truely affecting is the large middle class. The wealthy have lost money but not enough to truely effect their lifestyle, while the middle class who were invested in the almighty stock market have most likely lost half of their worth and cant get loans that are necessary to survive (Small business, Car loans, etc.). Meanwhile the Poor couldn't get loans before except from predatory lending services like... Payday Loans and they weren't invested in shit because they didn't have the discretionary income nor the network to direct them to sound investments. Banks wouldn't help them get a house, so the only thing that has truely changed for the poor is the cost of living (Food, Rent, Gas, Bills) which have all gone up. But they could care less about this whole discussion on fixing the economy because they were never considered part of the system anyways. One thing is apparent though, a lot more people know what it means to be broke as fuck for whatever reason. ROCK BOTTOM, why the hell didn't they hand out the 700 billion to the citizens. That would have stimulated the economy, we clearly don't have a problem knowing how to spend money. Its not being able to save money that screwed everything up.
