Wealth Inequality in America 

I don't give a shit what it looks like. I build my wealth regardless of if Bezo's makes $1 or $1 billion dollars, lmao. Either way it doesn't effect me at all.

@@billkeithchannel Oh nooo, about 5 percent of the military spendings are given to a country that actually needs it, the horror!

The increasing prices have impacted my plan to retire at 62, work part-time, and save for the future. I'm concerned about whether those who navigated the 2008 financial crisis had an easier time than I am currently experiencing. The combination of stock market volatility and a decrease in income is causing anxiety about whether I'll have sufficient funds for retirement.

This is precisely why I like having a portfolio coach guide my day-to-day market decisions: with their extensive knowledge of going long and short at the same time, using risk for its asymmetrical upside and laying it off as a hedge against the inevitable downward turns, their skillset makes it nearly impossible for them to underperform. I've been utilizing a portfolio coach for more than two years, and I've made over $800,000.

How can I reach this person?

I checked Aileen up out of curiosity and i must say i am impressed by her Credentials. i emailed her already, waiting on her response.

There’s an updated version from someone else; it has gotten a bit worse. The top 1% are up about 2 percent ownership of the entire US wealth base

Aimen Abduljelil so you would rather have everybody equally poor? Really is this is what America has come to

@Colman, what capitalism are you talking about? Germany? The USA (not America) socialized the biggest debt in the history of the world, bailing out corrupt and inneficient companies since 2008, spending more money controlling and making up the economy that all the communist countries of the planet put toghether trough their history. And according to own US data, are the small businesses the ones that provide more jobs, not the big corporations. "...the state has no right to steal money from the rich (hardworking and benefit society)" may be you are confusing the 1% with the .0001%" of course the government has no right over hard earned money, but wealthy individuals doesn't even work, doesn't invest on job creations, they just lurk between easy lended money to prop up their own shares on big companies without any tangible good, and if they fail on their bets, there's good old Uncle Sam to socialize their loss among the rest. Really are even well educated people so blind?

The Finance Guy- Stock market videos My parents belong to the wealthy 20% percent, and there wealth increased with only 15% in those 6 years. I do not feel anyshame, as my parents worked very hard for their position.

How is it relevant? That's like saying the person down the street buying a new car is your personal business, it's not.

Huschibaba The Golden Age of the 1950s/60s was bought by World War II, it's easy to have the highest wages and living standards when one is an economic hegemon because the rest of the world's economic capacity is destroyed and it has little choice but to buy one's exports.

Wackokicker Small businesses create most of the jobs because economies of scale lead to greater productivity and ultimately a cap on the number of employees needed.

Exactly, if you tax a millionaire 50% of their income they're are still rich. If you tax an average American 50% of their income they become dirt poor...The rich don't have to worry about grocery money, gas money, water, electricity bills, phone bills, tuition fees, student loan debt, medical bills, etc...that's all CHUMP CHANGE but for the average American, all that is called living paycheck to paycheck. In fact, 78% of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck. That's the American Dream ladies and gentlemen....reality.

@@Cod4Wii preach it !

@@Cod4Wii No, That is stupid B.S.. Socialism sucks. However, notice how they did not provide any solutions but said "we Dont HAAAAVE to go to socialism" (But we won't tell you anything other than it). Taxing the rich has a bunch of problems and is stupid, but I will start out slow. For instance, It is morally wrong to take from someone who has more than you because you have less. However, regardless of that, you seem to think only the rich rich will be taxed, however if you take everything they own they will simply end up leaving the country. Now, to keep this tax at the same level to force wealth redistribution, you end up having to tax people who make 200k a year, and then when they loose everything it moves down to 100k a year and so on. The rich already pay a MASSIVE amount in taxes for the United States. However, videos like this make it look like they are sleezeballs who dont pay anything. The rich don't have to worry about simply fees because they started a business and people bought it, thats capitalism. Maybe if democrats like Bill Clinton didn't give our industry away to china more americans would get payed more. However, the American standard of living as of now has IMPORVED over the last few decades and is continuing to improve. Compare that to socialist "Paradises" like Venezuela, Cuba, USSR, Etc. Point being, forced wealth redistribution is bad, socialism is worse. America would be much better off cutting trade deals with china so Mega Corporations dont just outsource manufacturing in other countries where slavery is allowed. Instead, everything would be American made, and Americans would have more jobs, and our economy would grow. In the end, taking from someone who has more because you have less is stupid, taking half of everything they have is even worse, and freaking stealing everything they have and giving it to others in socialism, that is just diabolical.

@@j775w8 This is not really about capitalism or socialism, it's about corruption. Many Europeans have free universal healthcare and free college, so why not do what they're doing? Norway, Finland, Sweden, France, Germany, Denmark, Spain, etc...all have 4 week paid vacations or more regardless of when they started and regardless of being part time or full time. In addition, they have healthcare for all, nearly free daycare, free tuition, months of paid maternal AND paternal leave. It's insane that the United States makes more money than the entire European Union combined, USA makes 21 trillion dollars GDP per year while EU makes only 18 trillion dollars per year GDP, and YET the USA still does NOT have these benefits. In fact, the United States is the ONLY 1st world country with NO free healthcare and NO free college.

Noah Roller Roads in Europe are terrible? WHAT? Roads, highways, and even airports and trains are WAY better than our infrastructures. I live NYC and i've seen the infrastructure all along the North East (the economic center of this country), and they are TERRIBLE. . . The subway is dirty and old, the system is old, the roads all filled with potholes because the government can't find the money to repair it, the trains are slow and unreliable, the airports are old and outdated. Have you seen the infrastructures in Northern Europe? Look at Netherlands highways or the high speed railroads, or lookup European airports, many are rated top 10 worldwide, while American airports barely make it in the top 100. Bernie Sanders said this many times that we need to spend a little less (from our HUGE) military budget and invest them into infrastructure, education, and healthcare. You know, the stuff that actually affects us and not the proxy wars in the middle east that benefits no one but the big elites. Northern European countries have the highest standards, so idk what youre talking about. Denmark is rated the happiest country over and over again, and Norway has the world's highest HDI index along with Denmark, Netherlands, and also many other European countries.

I live in Norway, wich is an Europeen country! And I do Agree with ARVIN! And yes the taxes are high, but everyone has enough, even if you have the poorest job ever. And everyone are happy with their life (and nature) even the poorest, and guess what!

Carlium I wish America will adopt the Nordic model one day, or at least have some states (the more liberal north eastern states and west cost states) to adopt it. I hate to walk the streets of NYC to see homeless people everywhere, yet were walking beneath a billionaires condo where a pent house unit costs around $100 millions. Or to see our crumbling and destroyed infrastructure with no proper funding whereas our military and foreign military aid is HUGE. Maybe one day.

ARVIN I know that the Nordic model is somthing MOST countries want, but you can't get that model in a flash, it takes years before the model can be fully adopted. oh and Noah Roller Just becouse they drop out doesn't mean their bad at everything, they're just tired of learning. In Norway you have more vacations than USA, and therefor it's easier to drop out of schools or quit working.

I grew up as part of that 25% we had no money in savings yet mom could always find the cash to take us on trips to give us "good memories of our childhood".

@@redtsun67 I just don't get why Americans can't realize that the inherent problem is capitalism, and it has always been a problem for the United States. It connects to almost every single problem, ranging from housing, to labor violations, to economic inequality, unfair taxation, the list really goes on. The thing people fail to realize is that you can have a democracy while also having a socialist/communist economic system. It would fix so much, and people who have lived in, are living in, and will live in your childhood's circumstances would have a much better life.

@@verifiede4125 You think capitalism is the problem because you've never once picked up a book on economics. My childhood was the way it was not because of capitalism, but because my mother could not manage her money properly. The money that could have been spent on food, or saved for an emergency, was instead spent on crap we didn't need. Vacations to the beach, expensive birthday parties, ordering takeout, or maxing out the credit cards to buy christmas presents. All the money she spent on that crap could have been put into a saving's account, or put towards bills.

​@@redtsun67sit on a picket u dimwit

@@redtsun67 Ah yes, the "well the poor just need to spend money better" argument. Not only is this a morally reprehensible argument, but it's also very ignorant and serves only as an excuse and a scapegoat that holds no basis in reality. You very clearly do not live in any disadvantaged positioning, because otherwise you would realize the inherent problems with capitalism. Capitalism is designed so that the wealthy are happy, the middle class is somewhat happy but becoming lower class, and the lower class is unhappy and suffering. Tell me, under socialism where food, housing, water, education, and healthcare is all free, would your mother have to worry about spending that money on those things that should be considered human rights? With a UBI in place, would your mother have to worry about quite literally anything at all when it comes to financial struggle? The answer to both of these questions is a flat no, but you're going to disagree because "well socialism never works!" If socialism never worked, the United States wouldn't have tried so god damn hard to suppress it's upbringing in other countries. If it's bound to die naturally, then why not let it die naturally? Capitalism. Is. The. Problem. Period.

Wealth inequality is like mountains growing when plates collide; the plates must slow down by nature, the mountains stop growing, and all the while erosion is spreading that new land across the continent so the peaks are less and less towering while the plains and delta rise above the water. We had super wealthy rail and oil moguls early in the last century but the extreme profitability of those ventures spread out rapidly and funded extraordinary growth across the economies of the world, so now there are millions of very wealthy oil tycoons but there's nearly no one new who becomes a multi-billionaire by innovating in the oil industry these days; it's high hills like the Appalachians. More recent were the tech and globalization mountains, but you can't just invent another Walmart, Amazon, Google, or Facebook anymore. Now that those markets have been created, the early benefactors (Waltons, Bezos, etc.) will be the only vastly rich people created by those markets. While the market keeps growing unless something stupid happens (i.e Communism) everyone else who enters that market takes a lesser slice of the remaining total, so no new multi-billionaires are likely to pop up unless a whole new market arrives. Since we're relatively close in time to the creation of so many revolutionary markets the inequality as a simple equation (wealth divided by number of people) is really major right now. But these original business owners benefitting from recent revolutions are still young and the wealth hasn't been divided yet. In 100 years will Jeff Bezos still own that many billions? No, he'll be dead probably, and even if his estate keeps growing that will be by investing in (letting others use) his wealth, and the number of people and non-profits living on that estate will far exceed 1 individual, so rapidly as you divide even $300-Billion among 10, 100 people; minus management fees, minus lawyer fees, minus annual taxes, minus the 90% that remains in stocks and is not withdrawn as a dividend each year: now there's only about 5% of that estate. Spread among 100 trust fund descendants and we're already down to $150 million each within probably this century or less. It spreads out fast. So, the issue with wealth inequality is like the issue with fat in your diet. Is it bad? Maybe, it depends; fat alone is not enough information to tell. Does your country have wealth inequality because some wealthy dictator is hoarding everything by force among his cronies? Or does your country have wealth inequality because it has just experienced the greatest leap in technology ever seen in human history, some people have been extraordinarily blessed to be involved in that leap, and the rest of us and across the globe will be enjoying the results as it spreads. Thank you Google for keeping RU-vid running, for instance, sharing Google's wealth with us although it will likely never be a profitable venture. I have no problem with wealth inequality. Injustice is actually easy to recognize; you don't need to statistically analyze people's income and current savings to find it. Did Walmart steal my money? No. Did Amazon steal my money? No. Then have I been treated unjustly by them? Probably not.

Welp considering the central banking cartel 'the Fed' has been pumping 80-100 BILLION per night into the banking system since September (1st it was just temporary, then till the end of October, then till the end of November, then 'till April' now ? And they no longer have to do this just 'overnight' - now they can delay it for weeks - and of course pull MORE out to buy back their (toxic) collateral when the first loan comes due. Funny - how much they have to pay when desperate for money overnight... 1.75% interest on the billions, and how much does the average working stiff pay if they have to borrow on their credit card from those same banks, or have to get a payday loan? Wouldn't it be nice if the central banking cartel let US borrow from them at 1.75% interest? Anyhow the "overnight" repo market has gotten worse of course - the central banking cartel's balance sheet has added almost a trillion bucks since September (and no doubt they've printed a whole lot more than that - that they are not counting on their books. They are buying gold in record #s, almost every central bank around the world has been buying gold buy the 100s of tons the past few years... they know what's coming... sadly most Americans are being too distracted by the extremely horrible actors on CNN/ and FOX (do they not realize both sides are owned/controlled by the same group of elites? and some of them on both sides are PART of that elite!!! Just look at the Bush/Clinton Nafta 'arrangement' - where Clinton didn't even want to ask the Mexican leader, who was desparate for the deal, to have any sort of labor or environmental standards!

If anyone is reading this a decade later - if this virus thing doesn't excellerate the timeline - you likely have less than a year to stock up on all the things you'll be needing anyhow, as well as buy some items for trade/barter and possibly some gold - before all this massive $$ printing ends up making your purchasing power on the $ you have worth 30-40% of what it will buy now (if the $ is even worth anything then...)

In fact, it wouldn't be wrong to say that conventional companies are structured just like monarchies.

Hence you are against the intervention of government so that the wealthy can exploit easier :) Like unleashed rabid dogs... I am against any kind of exploitation. When there is hierarchy, there is exploitation too. Hierarchy consists of superiors and underlings, authorities and submissive subjects (actually a subject in this case is being degraded to being an object). Fine, state shouldn't be an authority over companies, employers, entrepreneurs. But they shouldn't be an authority over their workers too ;) Guess how would that be possible? Democracy in companies?

@ChillinHD please enlighten us

Maybe because the ultra rich are also the biggest employers. That tax affects them too in the end. And at some point, for those ultra rich, it isn’t about the money but rather the growth of the company. And that keeps everyone happy including employees. Everyone thinks owners and CEO’s are all play, when a lot of them live lonely lives, have stress fat around their belly’s, heart problems and losing their hair. They have great events, but they are working all the time and are under constantly judged under the social media spotlight. It’s not all fun and games. The same people who you claim defend them, aren’t for spending other peoples money. And are more focused on how our tax dollars are spent. Where the money is spent or sent. We all hate more taxes. For anyone. Especially, if it seems to be making our current public servants richer every year. They don’t want to tax the rich. They just want the system to be fair so we can all have the ability to get rich. A simple google search on who got insanely rich while in office is my list of “never vote for those guys.”

Taxing the rich won't do what you want it to. The rich can shuffle around their assets to evade taxes, reinvest all of their money into their businesses, and take out loans against their own insurance to evade taxes. The real issue is the lack of fair competition. Every time a new business tries to enter the system to level the status quo, they get locked in red tape for licensing requirements, lawsuits from stretching the concept of patents to all of a sudden include their product, etc. That's not even to mention how parasitic the federal government has become. Before prohibition and the world wars, the major source of funding for the federal government was just alcohol sales tax. Then prohibition prevented that, they introduced the income tax (and got people to vote in favor of it by claiming "its totally optional"), they started creating all sorts of alphabet agencies that go far and beyond the governments allowances via the constitution, etc. The whole system is fucked

But million dollars isn't that hard to make of you spend a lot of years saving and working an average paying job and borrow loans.

@@shadowagent3 You have to pay the loans back for more than you borrowed. Also, the cost of living takes away the vast majority of salaries. The average person makes around a million in their lifetime but they aren't even close to being a millionaire by the time they die.

@@oldslowcoach no it's not about being good or evil, he's just saying that it's easier to make money with money.

In 2007, the bottom 60% of Americans had 65% of their net worth tied up in their homes. The top 1%, in contrast, had just 10%. The housing crisis has no doubt further swelled the share of total net worth held by the superrich.

It's called capitalism, the rich get richer and they make the poor richer. Without the rich, the poor cannot make a penny

TinyRodent they can...work for the rich then start a business and compete. The rich didn't get there out of nowhere.

Ah, yes, the trickle-down economics mindset. You hold onto that, because the reality might be too traumatizing for you.

***** No sir, it call go out there get it. Not, sit on your as demand shit

Liem H Did you have a stroke? I told you it'd be too traumatizing.

Only because some have chosen not to be in the club. People made decisions in their life that have put them where they are today. Tomorrow they can make a decision and change their financial position. Americans live in a country that has no ceiling on how much you can earn no matter where you begin your life. Most Americans don't understand the opportunities they are afforded in their own country. They have been brainwashed into going to school and getting a "good" job. Then they wonder why even though they are doing ok the wealthier did better. Then the solution is always take from the wealthiest to give to the poor. What evidence do we have that giving someone else's money to someone led to wealth creation?

ParabellumRacing You are the reason that the billionaires keep on laughing. You keep them in the position that they are in based on your naive outlook on life. You will never be part of the 1%. Now matter how hard you try.

@@ParabellumRacing They've been brainwashed, so other people can exploit them. Why else would they be brainwashed? Are they brainwashed for no reason, or is it to benefit someone else?

@@ParabellumRacing "Americans live in a country that has no ceiling on how much you can earn no matter where you begin your life. Most Americans don't understand the opportunities they are afforded in their own country." It's just a pity we are not all born equal or have equal opportunities. And to think that is not so, is very naive. I obviously don't know how many countries you have lived in or worked but to be fair, most countries believe, to a degree, that you can achieve anything you want if you work hard enough. It's never been something that only happens in America. Although it is apparent that Americans believe their country is the only place on earth that you are free, and that you, despite your heritage, can achieve anything. But one thing differs in all other countries. The others all know that it's BS. In contrast, Americans think it's written in their constitution.

Grant Adamson show us the income inequality graph of some of these other countries. Maybe Venezuela, Cuba and Mexico?

+Greg Akopyan Apparently it's only socialism when it benefits the lower classes. Rich assholes get subsidized and it's cool though, right?

TajHammer Ahahahaha why would rich people get subsidized.

+Greg Akopyan Rich folks get subsidized because they pay politicians to give them corporate welfare and tax relief which earns them more than the cost to buy a politician.

+Greg Akopyan Bernie is pro capitalism. This video is a misrepresentation of socialism, and showcases communism. Bernie is a democratic socialist in the sense that he supports free healthcare and free college education for everyone in America. Not "free shit". If you look at Canada for example, as I live there myself even the far right don't even fucking consider trying to talk against our healthcare system, they'd be laughed out of the election. For every other major developed country, this shit is just common sense and America needs to catch up. He's not too far left at all. He's just using common sense. The US has been a democratic socialist country for over 230 years, having programs such as the military, public libraries and roads just to name a few socialist programs. This is just another step forward. You don't know at all what you're talking about, swine.

+Pablo Diablo You should try reading a book and understand politics compadre

And this is why we should've picked Bernie. smh.

@Womp Womp well Bernie wouldn’t have done that, he would’ve achieved the first graph, the socialist graph, with no difference

@@chriskendall1619 hmmm, no he stated that the top tax rate would be 52%, along with subsidized Health Care, Education and Better Infrastructure. He would've, at least, decreased wealth inequality in this country in my and many other people's opinions.

Nearly every billionaire on the planet started off life born into being at least a multi-millionaire.

I’ll be showing this in my class as well. Make sure you correct the socialist comment- socialism doesn’t mean equal wages. If I could edit that line out of the video, the video would be perfect, albeit outdated unfortunately

Should we even pay attention to your postulate given the glaring holes in your grasp of economic reality? By the time you realize that you need to reeducate yourself, the opportunity to do so in this country will be gone, and it's "idiot's" like you, who have voted all along for this type of status quo, who get just exactly what you deserve.

I all state was something from my past and let a scared child you spew hate and isult so there's no credibility in you as far as I'm concerned. Go adjust your tinfoil.

Skooter McGoo The argument is true but not in the way your grandfather thought, since there are many non working males from lower income households receiving government benefits at the expense of people who work and pay higher taxes.

That depends by what you mean by a dollar that wasn't earned. I dont believe those exist. You dont just hand somebody money. If anything the poor are getting money they did not earn in the form of welfare. They are getting money because they are useless or barely useful on the big picture. Anybody that says jeff bezos did not earn his money is an absolute idiot. He serves much more people than a fast food worker in the form of his own company that he created and invested in over the last decades. That company does the most work out of any company on the planet which is why it generates so much income. He has earned every penny it makes even if he does not actively do anything by setting up the system that makes it convenient for others to buy stuff online and get it shipped to their doors all across the planet. You cannot say that he did not earn the money.

the global average is quite a bit better than the US one i reckon

@@mirrorsreflectyou While it is true that the US is behind the other develped countris when it comes to wealth inequality, we should not forget about the developing countries. I would guess that the global wealh distribution is about as bad as the US wealth distribution if not worse.

You’d be surprised

global wealth Gini coefficient is about .67 (WIR) US Gini coefficient is about .42 right now. But thats talking about the entire distribution. Top 1% of wealthy globally control half of total wealth (Wiki). Thats higher than the US. I believed your argument until I looked it up. Seems that while most countries are more equal internally the picture once you ignore boarders is significantly worse than the US. Not looking to argue this comment just sent me down a little rabbit hole, hope you learned something too :)@@hxpponaut197​

Top 1% has 45.8% of the money Next 11% has 39.9% Next 32.8% has 13.7% And the bottom 55% have 1.3% So even worse than America. Gotta love that capitalism!

+Mattias Sollerman You were obviously a stupid fucking kid then.

+prim itivo You were obviously a kid with no imagination

+prim itivo supply side economics has been the doctrine ever since the decline of Keynesianism and the rise of Friedman. It pervades all sectors of society and government policy. Look at the 'war' on drugs, or illegal immigration: all policy is virtually solely focused on the supply side.

+Mattias Sollerman: Substitute "Marxism" for "supply side economics" and I'll have some respect for you.

+sinnedciti: The real problem with the economics of the Chicago School is that it works so well, while Keynesian policies always end so poorly. Most people would rather have an economy like Chile rather than Venezuela. And since Keynesian economics shares so much with Santa Claus and the tooth fairy, you should easily be able to see what the problem is. Incidentally, Friedman's idea of how to deal with the drug war was to legalize drugs. Immigration wasn't a problem until we started paying people to not work and to have children they couldn't afford. The housing bubble and the Crash of 2009 wouldn't have happened without the Affordable Housing Act. These problems often stem from policies that are drawn from socialist theories.

It's the regulation that has artificially kept housing prices up and decreased overall competition. We need to end all this overbearing and corrupt legislation only benefiting the companies that have chosen to corrupt the state and abuse its power. image if the Airline industry hadn't been deregulated, flying would've probably still been a luxury with only a handful of competing companies.

The system is skewed toward oligarchy. Worship of extreme wealth and income for a few with the idiotic notion that only a few can be well off, and everyone else just needs to work a little harder-- the carrot on a string. Peoples' attitude toward income needs to change. For instance: oligarchy nations tend to keep wages/salaries secrete from each other which defeats the point of competitive market principles. In fact, oligarchies tend to be two faced about competitive market principles-- only espousing some market principles in their benefit, while ignoring other obvious facts of competitive market principles like natural monopolies, spill over costs, resulting in poor economic policies like supply side economics or just demand side economic policies. Concept of community has broken down, especially in the workplace such as forming labor unions of any kind. Trade agreements with despotic and/or extremely corrupt nations has caused many nations especially the US to fall to those corrupt and despotic morality of those nations that we trade with that have extreme human rights and labor rights issues as well as other extreme corruption. And mostly, the US has become an extremely stupid country based on various exam scores in terms of mathematics, geography, economics, physical sciences, etc. Every nation goes through stupid idiot phases, and we're in one of those phases. Not that the US ever was that extremely educated and bright. But it was getting better since the civil war through the 1970's. Then something weird happened. I'm wondering if lead or something in the drinking water is stunting peoples' ability to think. But it could be as simple as cultural change induced stress has people working more hours in general for much less, that stress has a tendency to make people behave in stupid ways such as dropping out of the community, not wanting to take part in any remotely risky situations even local politics has become contentious, so people drop out. And that's never a good thing for any republic, at this point with so few participating in the community (excluding sporting events) it's only a republic in name only-- an oligarchy.

How about work smart not hard Vinny W. If you honestly think a 9 to 5 job will make you wealthy you are dead wrong. I live in America the land of the free.

MrAdy0207 So they can hoard more money than they already have?

I'm actually curious how this would work

He's joking. It happened already it's called Reaganomics. It's been in effect since the 80's (5:05). And it hasn't worked to this day.

MrAdy0207 wouldn't it be wonderful if the middle class had enough money to invest in businesses instead of the ultra rich? The ultra rich may not be fluid as some say; only because their money is invested in markets that by and large do not create millions of jobs. The money is basically "pushed" around on paper whereas if the middle class (a huge number of people) had that same cash it would be spent, invested, saved with much greater velocity. Its an obvious answer to which economy is better and still people believe trickle down. Its as obvious as climate change but some still refute. No answer will be 100% correct but "middle out" is pretty god damn close

I use this in my class and make my students find that exact data. Sadly it's even worse than what this video shows.

I understand this because I’ve been broke my whole life and might just die broke 😅

So many people... I just don't think people understand the difference between a millionaire with 2 million dollars or something and a person with literally 100x that and more... Even that figure is nothing compared to billionaires.

What's the difference between a million dollars and a billion dollars? About a billion dollars.

The most worrying part is how many people who don't understand how much of a non-issue this is.

Personally, I’m not even sure _how_ you would comprehend this. I don’t mind having incredibly wealthy millionaires or billionaires in the us, but I do think that the lower 40-60% as shown as the “reality” is astonishing

The Russians and French had literally nothing. The people in the US, even the poor, are much better off than the people who were in Russia&France. The average salary for the bottom 80% in Russia today is 9,000 USD per year. The average in America is nearly seven times that, at about 60,000 USD per year. In Russia pre-revolution, the average salary was less than 100 USD per year. America is shockingly affluent compared to pre-revolution France or Russia. And, overall, people are happier in a democratic republic than in a monarchial aristocracy.

Qwertyuoip 123 Monarchy doesn't count as a dictatorship... Right?

Pietro Smusi if you took the rich away it'd be bigger than 9,000 either way

I didn't know dragons were real.

Joke's on you. Union execs sell underpaid workers the illusion of security. The UFCW sacrifices part timer rights for full timers... so the companies stop hiring full time. The UFCW encourages this. It takes two part timers to do what a full timer could, which means double the union due income.

Show us the proof of that.

Common sense is your proof!!! Forget the Huge salary of a CEO, The average American's annual income does Not even come close to matching just the typical Bonus of a top CEO....yes, their Bonuses are more than Most peoples entire yearly income!!!

They're CEOs, they worked for that position so of course they will have a lot more money than the average American worker.

+Wahkeena Sitka The income inequality comes from the Federal Reserve, and our fractional banking system. Not to mention the collusion that occurs between a gargantuan government and large corporations. Bernie Sanders is weak on all of these. He will disappoint you in the same way Obama has, and in the same way Romney would have. #libertarian

ben carson was suggesting no federal tax or state tax and create one big national tax of 10% of your income so if you make 1,000,000 you give 1000 of tax and if you make 100 you give 1 dollar. it's a genius way and will help the nation more then anything else as well as the restriction of donations for presidential campaigns

+Dragonthorn29 You might check your math...your idea is correct and i agree with it as the point is made. But 10% of 1,000,000 is not 1000. It is 100,000 and 10% of 1000 is 100.But back to your point this is why though i am far from rich i just dont understand the whole "fair share" debate. From the last time i checked i thought the wealthy were already paring some 75% of the nations taxes. I doubt they use more roads or other social services. In fact i would guess less.

+Dragonthorn29 Please look up tax expenditures, how the welfare state is financed, and what the welfare state IS. You will quickly learn that Carsen's plan will further debilitate the economy and do nothing to sway the bias of the system towards people like you and I (the 99%). Speaking of which, look up false consciousness...

+Dragonthorn29 If income inequality is already so great then how would making the rich pay less in taxes and the poor pay more in taxes do anything other than make income inequality even greater?

@@edubbya I agree, but with the boomers dead in the near future, inflation will be extremely low.

@@edubbya Really? A factual statement backed by nothing but a depressingly defficient attempt at name calling? I will remind you that IQ has nothing to do with what I presently know, just what I can learn. That fact, by your own logic, would give you a less than average IQ. Pursuit of Happiness/Ownership of Property is the third inalienable human right, _after_ the rights to life and liberty. If your pursuit of happiness causes someone to suffer, you are violating their rights. For this reason, "it's the only thing holding back inflation" would not be a reasonable excuse to hoard wealth and cause suffering, even if it was actually true. Economy can never come before human well-being. You ought to be ashamed for even bringing that up as a point.

She's so underrated! We should all do something about it so this number is higher for her"... And all i could think was... Really?

People are so uneducated. Wealth itself means almost nothing. The thing that actually matters a lot is resources. In terms of resources the top 20% only use about 30% of the resources. That means things, places, food, and pretty much everything else. So how did it get worse? We have more products, better products, and more resources than we did back then and the average quality of life is higher than it was back then. I can’t believe I even have to explain this... is everyone 5 years old? When money is sitting in the bank that means the value of each dollar outside that bank goes up because the entire value of money is based on the resources you can get with it. Once again... is everyone 5 years old?

I'm just wondering how bad people are at math that they think the top 20% should have less than double the wealth of the bottom 20% who are basically perpetually broke and indebted losers with negative net worths. Is the ideal America really one where we're all broke and stupid?

Don't brainwash your kids, wealth inequality isn't a major issue in this country when you realize that the bottom 30% of Americans are top 1% earners when compared to the rest of the world. Our not so regulated economy has produced the wealthiest nation in human history. The poorest Americans have an obesity rate similar to the rest of the nation. I've traveled to nations with wealth distribution programs, and most don't have the luxury of having the varied diet that even the poorest Americans enjoy.

The lie is that as the video was made and published, the 1% got a bit richer than shown

+Henry Hopkins Literally shilling for the people who enslave us...

There were no lies presented in the video, only facts and figures, only the way in which they were presented promoted redistribution of earned wealth, a socialist/communist standpoint. The video presented income inequality as a bad thing - which is the lie firstname lastname was talking about - and failed to fully present the nature of those in the top 1%. That is, that people in the 1% rarely stay in the 1% for more than a year or two, and those that stay only succeed by providing goods and services that people are willing to purchase, not to mention many of those who stay for extended years are largely philanthropic, and heavy investors. In fact, in a more free market capitalist society, that is, less government influence on business and vice versa, the advantages of having a very rich 1% become even more prevalent. The thing to fight isn't capitalism and income inequality - it's government and cronies' involvement in it. Capitalism is the freedom to prove your unequaled value to society, socialism is forced equality of a society in poverty.

You people are delusional. It's not a matter of 'Deserving' anything. It's a matter of 'Risk & Reward' and keeping what you 'Earned'. This is how the world works. 90% of the things that you use every single day would NOT exist if it weren't for that concept because people wouldn't be incentivized to get up, work and invent things throughout the course of history. If this man was creating and developing a company across multiple decades and now it has finally blossomed garnering him billions of dollars because of all of the hard work and dedication that he has put into it then he should get every single penny that comes out of it. And the same goes for any other rich and successful people who are now eating the fruits of their labor. You guys need to stop with this whole notion that you should be getting handouts from the rich just because you may feel bitter about not having what they have.

This means that one percenters actually make about 26 times as much as the average American, not the ridiculously false 380 figure in the video.

@@pattyspanker8955 And they only give away what nets them tax breaks for giving things away

***** I do agree that the average American has it better than third world countries. But if we continue on the downward slide we are on with hedge funds and well connected plutocrats making short term fortunes by hollowing out the underside of our economy, while producing nothing of real value to justify their immense compensation. Then we become so top heavy that we will collapse completely. Far worse than the disaster they caused in 2008, even worse than the one they created in 1929. Since the early 70's we have rejected our historical commonwealth capitalist system, and embraced a bullshit mercantilist model. That is paradise for speculators (leeches) and not good news for those of us who produce goods & services that actually sustain society. The system we are using now is alien to the real American tradition, which was the best way to create wealth equitably in the history of economics. Also, you did not mention the Scandinavian countries, all of which score higher on every level of freedom (especially economic freedom) education & prosperity than we do with their "terrible" semi-socialist model. They don't face $19,000 bills for a single night's stay in the hospital like we do..... &~

Plus SOPA, wars, MKUltra (that is the best one, freedom?!) etc. I wouldn't mind so much, but you end up screwing it up for the rest of us, as Snowdon has shown. I am not saying it is good here, but at least England lubes up before it fucks us

***** Millions of people start smoking each year. Doesn't mean it is right. Guys, not insulting America. Just pointing out all this 'land of the free' is SERIOUSLY misguided. Like I said, it is the most imprisoned country I have been to. And your media is constantly feeding you paranoid BS about how everyone wants to take your freedoms, and so you must invade or the terrorists win lol. The TV in your country is mind blowingly hilarious

And who pays for it? Let's remember that even in this, those with the most exploitable skill-set (the upper 20% perhaps, more like upper 3-10%) are STILL being exploited for the overall society. Most of this isn't about intellectual or critical analysis. It's about feelings. Yea, it doesn't feel good at all to fall out of the competency/production hierarchy. One reaches a point where down-turns start snowballing. And above that point, up-turns also snowball. Someone with a degree of ability to generate wealth, finds the body of people wanting to do business with them growing exponentially -- to the point where they have to pick and choose which lucrative ventures to participate in and which to turn down. Even unto turning down opportunities that 80% of the population would proverbially sell their first-born for. And when your ability to generate wealth is on the down-turn, there are naturally fewer and fewer people lining up to do business with you. If you want to do something about this, go out and throw your financial support behind someone with a string of losing ventures. And if you find that you cannot and WILL NOT . . . then you probably are not in a good position to complain about the "unfairness" of the system. Because "the system" . . . is you. This is not a "nice" aspect of life. But an "aspect of life" it is.

I'd put you at saying the exact same thing if the number were 10,000.

***** Of course it's a simplification. But the general gist is that a rich CEO is far more important to the operation of a company and the economy as a whole than a single worker at the bottom of the ladder. Vastly more important. The actual number doesn't matter, it's just there to illustrate a point.
