You can't be serious, the stock market crash, the direct result of republican policies hurt mostly the middle class who saved for many years a nest egg. The rich have lots of money, I know many, they never suffer, even when they complain and whine and act like the sky is falling.

Yes it hurt the middle class as well, although I suspect they were most hurt by the banks failing.

The rich ultimately had other assets which meant they still did ok even after the crash and bank failures.
