Saving the system to what end?

from Lance Mannion's blog. 

So, it appears that once again the ruling class has saved the system--at least for now. But, is that good for working people? Great article, except the author never gets around to naming the system. That is because in our society it is taboo to name the religion of Capitalism especially in the context of criticisms or failings.
The system is this: The bankers and the stockbrokers run everything, they and their richest clients get rich and richer, the rest of us hope that some of the buckets they’re holding up to catch all the money raining down from the sky overflow into our outstretched hands.
