That was the point of Occupy Wall Street. The movement formed in response to the subprime mortgage crisis and resulting bailouts, in defiance of capitalist principal, and without similar response to the people suffering thanks to the crisis and following recession.
In fact, even though Obama navigated through the crisis, almost everyone with financial investments gained profit through the ordeal while the common US worker was in worse straits, which made the people, specifically, uneducated white men, angry and frustrated and set them up to be manipulated by Trump.
