I think not bailing out the banks would have affected the poor eventually.

  That’s besides the point, which is that these people never stood to gain anything, while the finance industry stood to gain and then when it messed up, the less well off still lost even if they didn’t take part in the game themselves.

    The 'game' is the economy, which the poor still benefit from. If you have no stake in the economy, you wouldn't be affected.

      You are still affected, if you pay taxes.
