The people are finally starting to call out the corporate plutocrats. Watch the video titled "Occupy vs. Top 1%" to see real footage of how they're doing this.
Now what would you do with 5 Millions. Spending it would create Jobs for a while, investing it in new products would create job much longer and you would probably get even richer. What would be better for the have-nots?
The rich provide jobs. If I worked hard in my business.. I would 'have' enough customers to 'hire' some one because I'm 'richer'. Some of these lame fool comments blow me away. They think everything should be free. The freedom to get free stuff come from those rich payin thier taxes. Fuckin idiots. Welfare has drained this country of it true understanding of work for something instead of put you pussy ass hand out. Fuckin lazy ass complaining bitches. Er... I mean.. What I meant to say is.. You
@Trykan360 Rich people dont create jobs, they just drain the monetary system. Market creates jobs, markets exist where people have money in their pockets. Welfare state actually stimulates the economy, by putting money back into the system, and by giving basic services, people have more money to spend on other products, creating busisness oportunities. Go ahead keep defending those how have fucked the people in your country and the rest of the world.
That very well may be true. And I am at the lowest of the low right now. But, the rule in life also says 20% do 80% of the work. I'm healthy, and strong, clean, handsome, but lazy confused and unorganized so I have nothing. Had I worked hard and steady ,I would have much more wealth than I have now.. FACT. 80/20 is consistent throughout the world. So get off your ass if you are American and work earn and save.
And this is what Obama already knows but can't get the rebulicans to realize. But this was in 2007 its 2011 now so that number as grown for the top 1%.
I don't get it: why don't people grow some balls, simply kill these super-rich thieves and appropriate their wealth? Countless revolutions in the past did the same.
@SpicyHam well if you count assets, then you have to count liabilities as well. I think just showing cash was a good estimation. Otherwise you'd actually have to fully analyze the top 1%'s members' balance sheets and then the bottom 90%'s member's balance sheets. If you have that much money, time, and resources, i think they can be better reinvested.
How old is this vid.....I will bet current numbers are a bit different....The rich are getting richer and the poor are pretty much fucked....Change that we can believe in...
This video makes no point. So the top 1% own more than the bottom 90%. And? What do you want to do? Seize money from the rich and give it to the "poor"? And, if you did that, would it solve anything? In time the current ratio would return. That's because rich people tend to do things that make them richer and poor people tend to do things that make them poorer. Furthermore, that top 1% is occupied by the likes of Bill Gates, Warren Buffett and other super rich people and that skews the results.
@TheCodeWright "Rich people tend to do things that make them richer". Well, if being born is a thing that people do, then you are right, b/c the vast majority of the super-rich came from upper-middle class or upper class families to begin with. It's the "vicious cycle". The idea that a wealth inequality as large as the one above would occur in a society with uniform education and uniform inheritances is rather ridiculous. There is no "internal wellspring" of merit. It all comes from without
@kristinwhite84 Is it so hard to understand that a child born to rich parents might instill in that child the behaviors and attitudes that made them rich? And vice/versa for the poor? This "vicious cycle" can only be overcome through education and cultural shifts. There is a culture of poorness and it is this barrier that needs to be found and eradicated in order to effect any change to the disparity in wealth depicted in this video. Breeding envy and hatred will not change a thing.
@TheCodeWright A culture of "richness" won't get you a generous business loan or a decent social safety net if/when you fail the first time. A culture borne of education won't actually pay for one's education. A culture that derives from knowledge of money won't be very easy to instill when that family has no assets and no connections to put it in practice. The bottom 40% of households average less than 3k per household in wealth - less than the combined assets of the 3 wealthiest families!
@kristinwhite84 Well if you're just looking for handouts then I can see why you are frustrated. The only one responsible for ones education, success, failure or security is one's self. I don't know who these 3 families are you speak of but I have no doubt that they didn't spring into existence as wealthy. One person, at least, took risks and actions that accumulated wealth for themselves. And I dare say, for many others with whom they were acquainted. Wealth is earned not acquired.
I'm a capitalist through and through; however, the statement "Wealth is earned not acquired" is way too much of a generalization. A huge percentage of the people who have wealth, DID NOT "earn" it, but acquired it.
@sgapplebee I think it's a fair generalization. Do you have a value to assign to huge? A source to back up the claim? And even if some acquired a large inheritance, that doesn't preclude the possibility that they continued to earn further wealth.
It figures some bottom 90%er,defends the rich scum! Trust me you idiot,your life sucks! Take your heated pool and shove it up your non union,bottom 90% ass!
The bottom 90% isnt' exactly a good reference point for the 28%. Anyone over the 60 percentile is pretty well off. But even then. That's leaves over half the country with less than 10%. It's still pretty bad, and bottlenecks the economic flow of money.
I don't give a shit about taxes. Pay people more. Then the lower and middle class can actually afford to contribute more to taxes without selling a kidney to get by.
@Logicalpoots I suspect it was meant to make all of us non-rich types righteously angry that there are people out there with bigger bank accounts than us. But I'm not sure...I'm just a douche, whaddya want?
@Mattothee How is it exactly that the bottom 90% is being screwed? I am in the bottom 90%, and my quality of life is pretty fucking amazing. I have everything I want and more, I have 2 cars, a big beautiful home, a heated pool, a lovely wife and a son on the way... I have everything I have EARNED and I've never asked for or accepted a hand-out. So how is it that I am being screwed because there are people more successful than me? I applaud their success.
@jm The problem is we do not understand what being a true human means. Only half of us love work more than sex, and that is why so few adults have jobs. The human psyche or soul (not the ego which is the souls parasite) has 3 seasons: work, sex and rest. Most of us do not recognise or respect these 3 seasons -- especially no one would see sex as a season deserving of as much time as we give work. More info: myspace.com blogs of highestprecision. No, I am not mad.
Looks like 170 of the 187,852 are afraid of the 90%. And what's creepy is that's 9% of the total hits. And I bet only 1 of them is anywhere near the top 10%.
Everyone should learn about United Nations Agenda 21. "Social Justice" and redistribution of wealth sounds cool to American liberals. Wait until they find that their money is not being redistributed in America, but to other countries. Is that really what they want? I don't think so. Remember the blacks waiting in line for their "Obama money?" They really thought redistribution of wealth was coming to them. People on welfare in America are richer than many people in 3rd world countries.
Wealth is not "distributed," it is created and earned. The top 1% have that wealth because through their hard work and ingenuity, that wealth was created, providing jobs for millions of Americans, thus also creating the wealth that the other 99% have. Learn some basic economics, people. It is not a zero-sum game.
It is the Hexagram (Seal of Solomon, six pointed star)
Name of a man = Solomon
Number of its name = 666 talents of gold collected by Solomon in one year
Three pairs of triangles with their apexes touching. Each pair collectively represents the number 6, which qualifies the whole symbol as a graphical representation of 666
Solomon was the apostate king of israel that led judah into idolatry and worship of the gods of the mystery religions (satan)
@twistfinger I would say yes, indirectly, by providing the jobs that created the wealth. No, they didn't do the actual manual labor, but they did something more important and more difficult: They provided the capital investment and the administrative structure to make it possible for most of the workers to have jobs. Without the 1%, there would be very few jobs, very little wealth, and we would all be living nasty, brutish and short Medieval lives.
@MrPcmaurer They don't provide the capital investment. The customers who buy their services fund the jobs. It isn't as if they are THE creators of jobs in a vaccuum. They couldn't create jobs if it weren't for customer revenue. So they aren't just giving their own money out to job fillers.
@twistfinger The customer revenue comes because they are providing a product or service that the customers desire. We could go around in circles like this all day long, but the entrepreneur who collects the capital, and organizes the production of the product or service, is the extra element necessary to provide that product or service at an affordable price, plus the jobs to those who produce it. Without the capitalists, we would all be living in Medieval poverty except for a few nobles.
I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered. power should be taken from the banks &restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs. -Jefferson
Only WORDS manifest! All exists by words...This is the very reason why you must ONLY use the words in your life that you wish to manifest....AFFIRMATIONS!!!
Use affirmations to manifest your desires....this empowers your will, your freedom, your own creative power and control...which you do have!!!!

Any American know where your taxes go? Who the IRS works for? Who the Police and Militia(military forces) work for? Who is represented in the US Constitution? The answer is NOT the American People! Strange but True!
Joseph Goebels propaganda 101 -- repeat the lie over and over. Where do they come up with these numbers? Folks, add up the value of the homes in your middle class neighborhood. Let's say the average value is $ 300K. That means 100 middle class homeowners control $ 30 million worth of wealth. The vast majority of real estate is owned by the middle class in this country.
The problem is not wealth distribution, it's wealth creation.
@yaimavol How about Home Mortgage 101? Most middle class families have mortgages. They don't always own their homes. They are paying them off. The banks own most of those homes. There are 100 people in this country who have trillions in cash. $30 million is pocket change to them.
@TheCIAsucks A valid point, but you notice I used the word control which is not necessarily the same as ownership. Many uber-wealthy are leveraged as well. Donald Trump pays huge mortgages on his properties every year. He controls billions in value, but he does not completely own them outright, as you have pointed out.
Given the surging Boomer population that have been paying on mortgages for decades, the middle class still controls the majority of wealth in this country.
@TheCIAsucks I'm curious, who are the 100 people who have trillions in cash? If you don't know, do you have any idea where I can find out? I have a feeling that most of their names would not be recognizable to most of us. thanks!
@Natalia95900 Rothshields, Rockefellers, Warburgs, ,,,,,,,,,,,, It is not only cash. The biggest part are real assets loke Gold, Diamonds, Shares on the biggest Companies, and of course real estate, There are Poeple who owns a half country with all on it. Including the slaves, who don't realy know, because in the daytime they have to work and in the night the TV rules the livingrooms and the TV is owned,ruled,, and kontroled by the top 1% .Why should they tell you how to get free,
The Ponzi scheme Federal Reserve is mathematically shown to steal $8.4 trillion in 2010 from the people by hiding the sale of Treasury securities from Congress. Is that what they call embezzlement ? Look at 3w scribd dot com, message 49040689 .
I hope my previous comment gets lots of rage from socialists, democrats, and other various butthurt leeches who refuse to work for a living and instead whine about how no one gives them anything for free. Fuck you and your entitlement; no one owes you a god damn thing. Get off your ass and get an education and a career, you lazy fat fucks.
@donfolstar Your proof, please? Actually, most people who inherit wealth promptly piss it away. Most wealthy people are not heirs and heiresses, they are people who got an education, worked, saved, invested, started businesses, and made it on their own. They also pay the vast majority of taxes that support the inactivity of the bottom 15% who don't work.
The majority of people die at about the same wealth level they were born into. Look at any longitudinal study and you will see this (the OECD has many, if you need sources). Social mobility does exist, but is greatly exaggerated so people believe the feel good New Thought Movement story you posted.
Your fairy tale version of wealth distribution does not stand up very well to reality or common sense.
@donfolstar Again, wealth is not distributed, it is created. People who inherit wealth but do not live productive lives, generally don't remain wealthy. Of course there's exceptions - a very tiny percentage inherit so much wealth that they never spend it all, but most people who inherit wealth are not lazy bums, they actually work, because they are also taught to have a work ethic. The fact that you keep using the term "wealth distribution" makes me think you don't understand basic economics.
The fact you do not understand the phrase "Distribution of wealth" makes me think you do not understand basic English. The phrase means "who has money" and was used in regards to your New Thought Movement fantasy world of hard work = rich and lazy = poverty (and vise versa).
Another phrase you do not understand is "intergenerational transfer". You seem to think this term is limited to inheritance when it includes basically anything material your family ever gave you.
@donfolstar I understand what you mean by Distribution of Wealth, and the fact that you use the term "distribution" shows that you think wealth is distributed. Most wealth is not distributed, it is either created (by producing it), earned (by providing a service that can be traded for wealth), given (as a bequest or by charity), or DISTRIBUTED (i.e. STOLEN FROM ITS RIGHTFUL OWNERS AND DISTRIBUTED TO THOSE WHO HAVE NO RIGHT TO IT AND HAVE DONE NOTHING TO DESERVE IT).
You have provided no proof, merely repetition of an ideology disproved about a century ago. Wealth can be quite self sustaining for a small percentage, possibly the 1% you seem to think are genius supermen. There is some validity to your idea of learned work ethic, but a person can still work very hard and be poor (we have a whole class called "the working poor") and inversely never work hard and be quite wealthy.
@donfolstar Of course one can work very hard and be poor, but it's usually because the work they are doing is not highly valued by others. Others may not be working very hard in terms of physical effort, but the work they do is highly valued by others because it involves exceptional intellectual skills, hence they get paid a lot. This is not a disproved ideology, it's a basic law of economics. BTW, I didn't say that those who live off inherited wealth are geniuses, I said they were lazy bums.
You are an impossible person to converse with. You selectively read every post, intentionally misconstrue what I say, and constantly change your position whenever anything you say is shot down. Your ego clearly supersedes your interest in honesty or truth.
@donfolstar I have not changed my position, I'm trying to make one simple point that evidently you don't want to get: Wealth is not distributed by some unjust, malevolent conspiracy, it is created and earned. If those "evil rich people" didn't create the wealth in the first place, then nobody would be wealthy, and the poor would be even poorer. Everyone who thinks this video proves that there is some sort of conspiracy of rich people to keep everyone else poor, doesn't understand economics.
@MrPcmaurer I guess it could also show how the system is unstable and will eventually crumble once the illusion is gone. Don't think there's any weird conspiracy. But I think the system needs to re-energize the bottom 90%. Otherwise they'll be no one to support those dollars for the top 90%. Simply pay a nobile wage. But currently its a race to the bottom as business continues to offshore as muc has possible to essentially slave labor. Remember consumers account for 70% of demand.
@jmitterii2 Basic economic theory, empirical data, and common sense all show conclusively that raising the minimum wage does not help the poor, it ELIMINATES THEIR JOBS. The "living wage" argument is specious because most people in low-wage jobs are not sole heads of households, they are teens and young adults living with their parents, or low-skilled immigrants living in multi-family dwellings with several wage earners in the house. Employers can't afford to page wages that result in net loss.
@MrPcmaurer I'm actually not saying minimum wage needs increasing. But the wages they pay the majority of the once middle class supervisor wages and management wages, are still stagnet. Those wages are not held my highschool students. And yes many corporations can also pay a slightly more wage to their assembly line or call center peoples as well. This pooling of capital isn't getting distributed to create jobs, but to offshore it. Soon that demand that buys it, will be gone.Already see it
@jmitterii2 I agree that the bottom 90% need to be re-energized, mostly because almost half of them don't have jobs. A just-published study showed that only 58% of American adults have jobs. That means that those 58% are supporting the other 42%, plus all the children. Say what you will about the rich, but at least they're working.
@MrPcmaurer If you call the 1%, the investor class, working. Any bozo the clown who inherrits money from ma or pa like the majority of the top 1% have pretty passive job. Many have given up because they're not getting paid enough, attempting to start their own business or go to school. But that 42% is very unstable. Elderly 65+ only make up 13% of pop. Essentially wealth allocation has been pooled badly-- making things very unstable politically and economically. Similiar to feudalism.
@jmitterii2 Feudalism was an economic system void of widespread trade. Rome, was a trading nation before it, and the Renaissance growing up in Venice, a trading city, marked the end of the Dark Ages. Barter became the norm, and trade became difficult among all, because they monetary system had broken down. Stable coinage, during the great periods of the Greek and Roman Empires, was gone. No business; everything sucks.
@MrPcmaurer you do know that pensioners over the age of 67 are adults too right? take away those, the one's who stay home to look after kids, handicaped and then the unemployed.
many of those who don't work are those who don't need to because their spouse earns enogh. say what you want but the rich tent to work less. the working poor work 2 to 3 jobs often and don't earn enough. THOSE people work, and nobody appreciates their work.
@donfolstar You haven't shot down anything. You said "The majority of people die at about the same wealth level they were born into." What does that mean, 51%? If so, that would mean that 49% of people go up or down the economic ladder compared to their parents. Even if it's only 30%, that still sounds like some pretty good economic mobility to me! And why would you expect it to be otherwise? People tend to resemble their parents in intelligence, education, and cultural values.
@donfolstar The basic problem with this video is that it assumes that there is something wrong with a situation where 1% of the people have 90% of the wealth. Why is there any reason to believe that the universe is designed such that every human should end up with the same amount of wealth? Or if not the same, what should be the fair and just distribution? Who gets to decide when the fair distribution has been reached? Do you think we can ever reach a point where everyone agrees it's now fair?
@MrPcmaurer The problem with your argument is wealth equals political power in this country . Our polical system was designed to protect the political power of the wealthy elites. Madison and Hamilton write about this topic when they helped design The Constitution. They believed that the wealthy elites were better equiped to serve the interests of the nation. It's clear that money is the most important influence in American politics. It has been that way for over 200 years.
@dontchastop Wealth equals political power in EVERY country in the world, under EVERY political system. While you might be right about Madison and Hamilton, they were forced to compromise on many issues, and the result is a political system that protects the power of the wealthy to a lesser extent than any system previously devised. I think you're assuming that this is a problem that can be solved, but the so-called "solution" always just puts power into someone else's equally undeserving hands.
What does it say about you that it takes you weeks to come up with responses? That you call this non-exchange "heated"? That you somehow think people and faces are important in an argument? That you once again change the subject when your pathetic ideas and petty tactics are exposed?
You can go ahead and fall back on the "umm... I was only trolling, lol" defense, but you, me, and anyone else who can read between the lines knows your sad truth.
IM FUCKIN TIRED OF THIS SHIT IM ABOUT TO DO SOME TUSCON SHIT WITHOUT KILLING INNOCENT PEOPLE NO KILLING THE FUCKING GOVERNMENT WE ALL SHOULD GET TOGETHER AND BOMB WALL STREET, THE WHOLE DAMN WASHINGTON, D.C.

@311211crazy What kind of an idiot are you to make what are essentially terrorist threats on youtube? You don't think anybody can read this, find out your IP address and find out exactly who and where you are? You're either young, naive, incredibly stupid, attention seeking, an agent provocateur or any combination of those five.
when u make millions a year as an i-banker or ceo and invest wisely, of course you are gonna do a lot better than some average joe who live paycheck to paycheck in some stale job. similarly, if you the founder of a successful public company and own like 20-40% of the stocks, you are also gonna be massively wealthy. couple with the fact that the super rich get tax breaks and how it's much easier to make money if u already have money, this is why there's such a large gap. why r ppl so surprised?
@bigfatleech123 Because this shows that 1% of the population close to HALF the wealth, regardless of how well off you are this clearly shows a problem.
@xXTyroneBiggumsXx i feel like the current system favors the equity owners over the ppl who actually contribute value to the economy. ideally, the ppl who contribute value get compensated, and then use some of their money to gradually become equity owners too. however, there are several problems to this... one of the problem is that current equity owners want to max profit by paying the value contributors as little as possible, making is difficult for other to build wealth too
The problem is " WE DON'T TAKE A STAND" we allow these multi billion dollar companies and families to treat US this way. We need to stand up and take back our rights. This is my country as much as it is any of those "POWER TRIP" "SELFISH" scumbags. I feel another revolution coming on.
@bsamusement Go right ahead, but if you think you're going to be living in some socialist utopia after all that destruction, you've got another think coming. You're going to be living in a wasteland where there are no jobs, because you killed all the people who were providing the jobs. All you're doing is advocating stealing things that don't belong to you. If you have the right to do that, then you better arm yourself because somebody will be coming to steal your stuff next.
In the present day the difference is much, much bigger. Let the rich stay rich, they earn their money. If we were in that top 10% or 1% we certainly wouldn't be complaining./
@Jcordeiro55 No, we wouldn't be complaining as we would have been born into that lifestyle. If I succeeded in making billions I would give most of it away trying to find a cure for malaria or something. The ones bon into it certainly won't give it away or try and find cures for disease or use it for the general good of mankind at all- they will try and acumulate more purely as a pissing match against their 'friends'.
@bigrebnc1861 yes they "own", but did they acquire it fairly? The CEO makes 238% of the lowest workers wages in a company. One individual usually (except company founders like Bill Gates&Steve Jobs) does not contribute at that level. Without all of the people working in the company the CEO couldn't earn anything. When the rich take it all they prevent others from the chance to get rich themselves, and they're long past the point where they will even notice what they would give up.
its all about balance. theres a limited amount of money in the world and not enough to go around. for every person who has a dollar, theres someone who dousent have that dollar. so if a select few hold all the wealth, then there isent enough money to go around, causing poverty.
How much have things changed since this was put out ? This video has 1989 written all over it. I believe that top 10% now has 90% of the wealth. Top 1% I haven't heard.
that only 1 percent of the population has the wisdom and forsight to earn and invest exponentially more then they spend. The bottom 90 is in exponential debt because they live for the moment and want to pay later. Redistribution thus would reward negative behavior while punishing rare or endangered positive behavior.
@DK0526 We have limited resources, limited money (for the most part, and a growing population. If the few people with "wisdom and forsight" (which I consider to merely monopolizing businesses which grow and steal work\profit from the small businesses) have most of the resources\money, then it only takes simple mathematics to find that the majority of the population has less resources\money. There are people who make bad monetary choices, but they're often tricked into doing so by those who don't
It is entirely sad. The world could be at peace by now, and yet the people above are drowning themselves to the same feeling and temptations to power as they always have throughout human history. Just more complex and gradual, and still ends up the same manner. If only people were of good intentions from the beginning, would we find true peace and equality. Rebellion isn't something I disagree, for it is needed to fix it all. But after, let's find peace and do not listen to rumor and lies.
democrats and republicans. red team and blue team. they exist to keep the working class busy fighting each other instead of the white team that sits on top, laughing drikning champagne while you are their slave. free-range slave that is.

@andrewking28 - that's one reason the only politics I have to do with is the Green Parties, among the only ones not funded by the same capitalist satanic evil military-industrial-congressional etc complex.
Georgia guidestones set out - what normal human societies kept to all along anyway, sensible sustainability. The 'thing' that needs all the slave overpopulation fodder to cause confusion, urbanise everywhere, remove all health - it is something else entirely, that false masonry.
@andrewking28 not quite. democrats tend to work with unions and push for legislation that hurts the rich and levels the playing field. I don't agree with all democrat ideas but they do represent the working class alot more than the republicans do.
flex and carmkm both wrong. democrat republican they are two branches of the same tree. you fellows here have only discovered the gates of hell, or maybe its address, go a little deeper, if you are strong enough to not hide in the woods after that, then do something about it. ill let you in the gate to the front lobby of hell here: the ring of power(you tube it). keep in mind, as i said, thats only the lobby.
We will not find justice at the hands of corrupt judges. (See YouTube videos) Judge to Judge on Illegal Payments to Judges / Evil Triangle of Court Corruption / Richard fine / Dr Shirley Moore slush funds /SBX 211. To end this title wave of corruption in our country must start with the corrupt judges. We can not bring evidence of corruption to corrupt judges. Los Angeles Superior Court judges are illegally and unconstitutionally taking 50,000.00 each for a total of 23 million per year.
Send 1.50$ to my address and I will tell you why these stats are as such and what you can do to better your chances to be in the top 10%. PM for my address.
So are you saying that the majority of teachers are not liberal? Are you also trying to say that the education system in the country is a huge success?
Maybe if teachers would stick to teaching subjects like math and science instead of trying to impose their own beliefs on their students, we might not be in the tough shape were in.
Does it not also bother you that teachers unions will not allow vouchers? I guess it is easier to have a monopoly than have competition.
Enjoy your pathetic life. You will soon start to realize that the rest of the world does not hold you in such high reguards as your parents did.
I bet it scared the crap out of you to think that you will be responsible for your own lot in life. And, I guess the fact that at 18 ,and posting crap on how the cards are stacked against you, you will end up broke, addicted and with a sore mouth from blowing guys for your next high.
The people are finally starting to call out the corporate plutocrats. Watch the video titled "Occupy vs. Top 1%" to see real footage of how they're doing this.

@Trykan360 Rich people dont create jobs, they just drain the monetary system. Market creates jobs, markets exist where people have money in their pockets. Welfare state actually stimulates the economy, by putting money back into the system, and by giving basic services, people have more money to spend on other products, creating busisness oportunities. Go ahead keep defending those how have fucked the people in your country and the rest of the world.

That very well may be true. And I am at the lowest of the low right now. But, the rule in life also says 20% do 80% of the work. I'm healthy, and strong, clean, handsome, but lazy confused and unorganized so I have nothing. Had I worked hard and steady ,I would have much more wealth than I have now..

In time the current ratio would return. That's because rich people tend to do things that make them richer and poor people tend to do things that make them poorer. Furthermore, that top 1% is occupied by the likes of Bill Gates, Warren Buffett and other super rich people and that skews the results.

@TheCodeWright "Rich people tend to do things that make them richer". Well, if being born is a thing that people do, then you are right, b/c the vast majority of the super-rich came from upper-middle class or upper class families to begin with. It's the "vicious cycle". The idea that a wealth inequality as large as the one above would occur in a society with uniform education and uniform inheritances is rather ridiculous. There is no "internal wellspring" of merit. It all comes from without

@kristinwhite84 Is it so hard to understand that a child born to rich parents might instill in that child the behaviors and attitudes that made them rich? And vice/versa for the poor? This "vicious cycle" can only be overcome through education and cultural shifts. There is a culture of poorness and it is this barrier that needs to be found and eradicated in order to effect any change to the disparity in wealth depicted in this video. Breeding envy and hatred will not change a thing.

@TheCodeWright A culture of "richness" won't get you a generous business loan or a decent social safety net if/when you fail the first time. A culture borne of education won't actually pay for one's education. A culture that derives from knowledge of money won't be very easy to instill when that family has no assets and no connections to put it in practice. The bottom 40% of households average less than 3k per household in wealth - less than the combined assets of the 3 wealthiest families!

Everyone should learn about United Nations Agenda 21. "Social Justice" and redistribution of wealth sounds cool to American liberals. Wait until they find that their money is not being redistributed in America, but to other countries. Is that really what they want? I don't think so. Remember the blacks waiting in line for their "Obama money?" They really thought redistribution of wealth was coming to them.

@twistfinger I would say yes, indirectly, by providing the jobs that created the wealth. No, they didn't do the actual manual labor, but they did something more important and more difficult: They provided the capital investment and the administrative structure to make it possible for most of the workers to have jobs. Without the 1%, there would be very few jobs, very little wealth, and we would all be living nasty, brutish and short Medieval lives.
MrPcmaurer 6 months ago
@MrPcmaurer They don't provide the capital investment. The customers who buy their services fund the jobs. It isn't as if they are THE creators of jobs in a vaccuum. They couldn't create jobs if it weren't for customer revenue. So they aren't just giving their own money out to job fillers.
twistfinger 6 months ago
@twistfinger The customer revenue comes because they are providing a product or service that the customers desire. We could go around in circles like this all day long, but the entrepreneur who collects the capital, and organizes the production of the product or service, is the extra element necessary to provide that product or service at an affordable price, plus the jobs to those who produce it. Without the capitalists, we would all be living in Medieval poverty except for a few nobles.

@TheCIAsucks A valid point, but you notice I used the word control which is not necessarily the same as ownership. Many uber-wealthy are leveraged as well. Donald Trump pays huge mortgages on his properties every year. He controls billions in value, but he does not completely own them outright, as you have pointed out.
Given the surging Boomer population that have been paying on mortgages for decades, the middle class still controls the majority of wealth in this country.

Of course there's exceptions - a very tiny percentage inherit so much wealth that they never spend it all, but most people who inherit wealth are not lazy bums, they actually work, because they are also taught to have a work ethic. The fact that you keep using the term "wealth distribution" makes me think you don't understand basic economics.

The fact you do not understand the phrase "Distribution of wealth" makes me think you do not understand basic English. The phrase means "who has money" and was used in regards to your New Thought Movement fantasy world of hard work = rich and lazy = poverty (and vise versa).
Another phrase you do not understand is "intergenerational transfer". You seem to think this term is limited to inheritance when it includes basically anything material your family ever gave you.
donfolstar 6 months ago
@donfolstar I understand what you mean by Distribution of Wealth, and the fact that you use the term "distribution" shows that you think wealth is distributed. Most wealth is not distributed, it is either created (by producing it), earned (by providing a service that can be traded for wealth), given (as a bequest or by charity), or DISTRIBUTED (i.e. STOLEN FROM ITS RIGHTFUL OWNERS AND DISTRIBUTED TO THOSE WHO HAVE NO RIGHT TO IT AND HAVE DONE NOTHING TO DESERVE IT).

You have provided no proof, merely repetition of an ideology disproved about a century ago. Wealth can be quite self sustaining for a small percentage, possibly the 1% you seem to think are genius supermen. There is some validity to your idea of learned work ethic, but a person can still work very hard and be poor (we have a whole class called "the working poor") and inversely never work hard and be quite wealthy.
donfolstar 6 months ago
@donfolstar Of course one can work very hard and be poor, but it's usually because the work they are doing is not highly valued by others. Others may not be working very hard in terms of physical effort, but the work they do is highly valued by others because it involves exceptional intellectual skills, hence they get paid a lot. This is not a disproved ideology, it's a basic law of economics. BTW, I didn't say that those who live off inherited wealth are geniuses, I said they were lazy bums.

But currently its a race to the bottom as business continues to offshore as muc has possible to essentially slave labor. Remember consumers account for 70% of demand.

@jmitterii2 Basic economic theory, empirical data, and common sense all show conclusively that raising the minimum wage does not help the poor, it ELIMINATES THEIR JOBS. The "living wage" argument is specious because most people in low-wage jobs are not sole heads of households, they are teens and young adults living with their parents, or low-skilled immigrants living in multi-family dwellings with several wage earners in the house. Employers can't afford to page wages that result in net loss.

@MrPcmaurer I'm actually not saying minimum wage needs increasing. But the wages they pay the majority of the once middle class supervisor wages and management wages, are still stagnet. Those wages are not held my highschool students. And yes many corporations can also pay a slightly more wage to their assembly line or call center peoples as well. This pooling of capital isn't getting distributed to create jobs, but to offshore it. Soon that demand that buys it, will be gone.Already see it

@jmitterii2 I agree that the bottom 90% need to be re-energized, mostly because almost half of them don't have jobs. A just-published study showed that only 58% of American adults have jobs.

If so, that would mean that 49% of people go up or down the economic ladder compared to their parents. Even if it's only 30%, that still sounds like some pretty good economic mobility to me! And why would you expect it to be otherwise? People tend to resemble their parents in intelligence, education, and cultural values.

when u make millions a year as an i-banker or ceo and invest wisely, of course you are gonna do a lot better than some average joe who live paycheck to paycheck in some stale job. similarly, if you the founder of a successful public company and own like 20-40% of the stocks, you are also gonna be massively wealthy. couple with the fact that the super rich get tax breaks and how it's much easier to make money if u already have money, this is why there's such a large gap. why r ppl so surprised?

@bigfatleech123 Because this shows that 1% of the population close to HALF the wealth, regardless of how well off you are this clearly shows a problem.

@xXTyroneBiggumsXx i feel like the current system favors the equity owners over the ppl who actually contribute value to the economy. ideally, the ppl who contribute value get compensated, and then use some of their money to gradually become equity owners too. however, there are several problems to this... one of the problem is that current equity owners want to max profit by paying the value contributors as little as possible, making is difficult for other to build wealth too

The problem is " WE DON'T TAKE A STAND" we allow these multi billion dollar companies and families to treat US this way. We need to stand up and take back our rights. This is my country as much as it is any of those "POWER TRIP" "SELFISH" scumbags. I feel another revolution coming on.

@bsamusement Go right ahead, but if you think you're going to be living in some socialist utopia after all that destruction, you've got another think coming. You're going to be living in a wasteland where there are no jobs, because you killed all the people who were providing the jobs. All you're doing is advocating stealing things that don't belong to you. If you have the right to do that, then you better arm yourself because somebody will be coming to steal your stuff next.

In the present day the difference is much, much bigger. Let the rich stay rich, they earn their money. If we were in that top 10% or 1% we certainly wouldn't be complaining./

@Jcordeiro55 No, we wouldn't be complaining as we would have been born into that lifestyle. If I succeeded in making billions I would give most of it away trying to find a cure for malaria or something. The ones bon into it certainly won't give it away or try and find cures for disease or use it for the general good of mankind at all- they will try and acumulate more purely as a pissing match against their 'friends'.

bigrebnc1861 11 months ago
@bigrebnc1861 yes they "own", but did they acquire it fairly? The CEO makes 238% of the lowest workers wages in a company. One individual usually (except company founders like Bill Gates&Steve Jobs) does not contribute at that level. Without all of the people working in the company the CEO couldn't earn anything. When the rich take it all they prevent others from the chance to get rich themselves, and they're long past the point where they will even notice what they would give up.

its all about balance. theres a limited amount of money in the world and not enough to go around. for every person who has a dollar, theres someone who dousent have that dollar. so if a select few hold all the wealth, then there isent enough money to go around, causing poverty.

How much have things changed since this was put out ? This video has 1989 written all over it. I believe that top 10% now has 90% of the wealth. Top 1% I haven't heard.
trombone7 1 year ago
you could just as well say
that only 1 percent of the population has the wisdom and forsight to earn and invest exponentially more then they spend. The bottom 90 is in exponential debt because they live for the moment and want to pay later. Redistribution thus would reward negative behavior while punishing rare or endangered positive behavior.

@DK0526 We have limited resources, limited money (for the most part, and a growing population. If the few people with "wisdom and forsight" (which I consider to merely monopolizing businesses which grow and steal work\profit from the small businesses) have most of the resources\money, then it only takes simple mathematics to find that the majority of the population has less resources\money. There are people who make bad monetary choices, but they're often tricked into doing so by those who don't

It is entirely sad. The world could be at peace by now, and yet the people above are drowning themselves to the same feeling and temptations to power as they always have throughout human history. Just more complex and gradual, and still ends up the same manner. If only people were of good intentions from the beginning, would we find true peace and equality. Rebellion isn't something I disagree, for it is needed to fix it all. But after, let's find peace and do not listen to rumor and lies.

@andrewking28 - that's one reason the only politics I have to do with is the Green Parties, among the only ones not funded by the same capitalist satanic evil military-industrial-congressional etc complex.
Georgia guidestones set out - what normal human societies kept to all along anyway, sensible sustainability. The 'thing' that needs all the slave overpopulation fodder to cause confusion, urbanise everywhere, remove all health - it is something else entirely, that false masonry.

@andrewking28 not quite. democrats tend to work with unions and push for legislation that hurts the rich and levels the playing field. I don't agree with all democrat ideas but they do represent the working class alot more than the republicans do.

We will not find justice at the hands of corrupt judges. (See YouTube videos) Judge to Judge on Illegal Payments to Judges / Evil Triangle of Court Corruption / Richard fine / Dr Shirley Moore slush funds /SBX 211. To end this title wave of corruption in our country must start with the corrupt judges. We can not bring evidence of corruption to corrupt judges. Los Angeles Superior Court judges are illegally and unconstitutionally taking 50,000.00 each for a total of 23 million per year.

@UniquelyCoordinated
So are you saying that the majority of teachers are not liberal? Are you also trying to say that the education system in the country is a huge success?
Maybe if teachers would stick to teaching subjects like math and science instead of trying to impose their own beliefs on their students, we might not be in the tough shape were in.
Does it not also bother you that teachers unions will not allow vouchers? I guess it is easier to have a monopoly than have competition.
