WEALTH INEQUALITY: The richest 1% controls more wealth now than at any time in more than 50 years. But what does wealth inequality really look like?

Wealth inequality is a feature, not a bug.

It's literally what the bloody Skeksis have done in the Dark Crystal. Take as much as possible and give back as little as possible. That eventually accumulates as "wealth". It's not balanced and it encourages a dog eat dog world. pic.twitter.com/wDuQf0kjKq

Fun with numbers. But wealth isn’t finite. Somebody having money doesn’t mean somebody else can’t. How am I hurt by the guy across town having more than me? What’s to stop me from going out and making my own wealth? The supply is not limited.

Wealth is not finite, but access to it relative to a specific point in time is. With no capital or assets, and no person or business willing to employ the person, wealth accumulation is effectively impossible for many. Starvation doesn't always wait for wealth to trickle down.

These dangerous levels of Wealth Inequality that we allow to fester are not just bad for 90% of people, they are bad for the overall economy. We #FightFor15 with #Bernie2020 to fix this! pic.twitter.com/CPMotcIGUH

The irony of CBS doing a “wealth inequality” segment with people spending disposable income in a shopping mall is awesome.

I like the part where, the young lady freely admits she started off in the poor plate and CBS totally ignores upward mobility.

This is fatally flawed research. Interviewer bias and hostility to economic self-determination renders the piece DOA. He fails to mention that the lowest 20% in America live lives that are the envy of the world.
