Who Owns America's Wealth?

This video basically sums up the distribution of wealth throughout the US population. The distribution of wealth in other countries, like the UK, is very similar. These figures are more than a decade old. It's even more concentrated now.

And the top 1% also own more wealth than the other 9% with-in their same percent catagory, it was 35%. 37% + 35% = 72%.

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.

Yeah, but distribution of oppurtunity is equal throughout...just open your eyes.

Capitalism isn't about equal distribution of wealth.

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?

@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.

@Trykan360 The rich just destroyed millions of jobs in the US alone because of their greed and they're not done yet. The fool is you.

[Trykan360]

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]

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.
