Nothing about raising capital prevents a functioning economy.

The point is that people have been conditioned to believe we must use public money to save private interests.

If you want long term functioning markets, shareholders have to hold the bag. Otherwise the Bernie Sanders crowd will get bigger and bigger...and rightfully so. And eventually the system will topple via revolution (political or otherwise).
