We need to see more of this so we can transfer wealth from the rich to the poor more effectively and get them to invest in the economy.

More money is loaned to the rich than is to the poor. So this is giving more money to the rich than it does to the poor.
Good luck getting a negative interest rate loan as a poor person
Is that necessarily the case?

I as a home owner would be interested for a remortgage to stick in the stock market (or even a risk free investment). Not really a poor person option though.

This would presumably just inflate the/a housing bubble, which doesn't seem like it would inherently help poor people, you cant really liquidate the asset as you need to live in it. Second homes on the other hand....
