The gap between the rich and the poor in this country has been steadily widening for decades.
The richest 1% of this country have more income than the bottom 50%, this means that the top 300,000 individuals earn more than the bottom 150 million! And the %age of wealth contained in the top 1% is even more unbalanced with respect to the bottom 50%... The distribution is so lopsided that even after they pay their "higher" taxes, they still posses a majority of the country's wealth.
Hell, the top 0.1% almost own 10% of the country's wealth alone!
The middle class has been bleeding for quite some time as well. After tax income and disposable income has exploded for the those at the top and barely increased at all for those in both the middle and lower classes.
All the while most are too preoccupied to realize they are being ****ed...
