Capital DOES not naturally flow to the middle.

you didn't answer.

does capital naturally flow to the middle class?

of course not.
To a degree it does. That is what smaller venture capital companies specialize in, small start-up businesses. I personally know 4 people who all started small businesses using venture capital. They were all solidly middle class.

One started a small drone company selling them to the US Army. He liked R/C airplanes and started a successful company. He's well off, but not rich.

Another started a company doing advanced materials research and manufacture. His sand castings for oil well drill bits sold well. He ended up disabled because he was doing research on carbon-carbon composites with furfuryl alcohol as a binder and didn't take that shit seriously (it's a potent neurotoxin). The company went to the venture capitalist who brought in somebody else to run it.

A third makes gas and other specialty handheld detectors for industry that sell well. It's a niche market so he's never going to get rich off it, but it gives him a comfortable income.

Yet another makes advanced ceramics for semi-conductor substrates. Good money there.

They all started by getting venture capital to invest in their ideas.

some does of course.

where does it flow to more the top 1% or the middle class?

pathetic answer.
The Rich. That's normal too. The Rich have the money on their own, and usually a track record of success, that means those investing in big projects will go to them with the money.

You seem to think that's a bad thing. It'd be far, far, worse if we had to rely on government to get big projects done. Look at California's high speed fail. $232 billion in the hole and not a single mile of track laid. No trains, no passengers, not a penny of profit to show for it. That's in nearly 20 years of money and work and NOTHING to show for it. The absolute worst "Rich" person to invest in is government.

but it flowing to the middle class is incorrect.

we can debate on if they deserve it or not. and that's a separate issue.

but facts are facts.
