Why is the US Economy based around a Stock Market return of 6-8% YoY?

How is this sustainable over time, if we aren't becoming 6-8% more productive each year?

we're just stealing savings from idiots and pumping it into companies that invest and grow the pie, it's a simple concept, inflationary economics works well because it encourages people to invest their capital in growing the pie

The stock market goes up because the stock goes up. What if that changed though? What if people lost faith in the "6-8%"? The whole economy would collapse. It's all based on a meme that it has gone up before so it will go up in the future. They have to keep the meme alive at this point.

Its not measuring “productivity”
Prices go up (inflation), markets grow, and planned obsoesance makes repeat customers.

Its a measure of growth not production.

And its purpose is to incetivise investment or lose the value of your capital over time.
