The richest 400 people in America have more money than the bottom 100,000,000 people combined.
This is a product of the trickle down theory I think, which the inventor of won a Nobel Prize for. But looking at the state of our economy, I can't see how this model has worked except to make the rich richer. I don't think it's the cause of our current economic status but it definitely laid the foundation. I'm far from an expert on the subject but there seems something out of place about the inequality of wealth in the US and how the tax payers bailed out Wall Street. I'm urked at this, and I'm really urked when I hear people make the argument that this kind system works and we should stay the course. I'm also urked because I'm poor.
Anyone have insight or thoughts on this?
