    A Video About Wealth In America

    And don't even PRETEND you are in the top 1% bracket. YOU are NOT!

    If you think this is acceptable, then you are TOTALLY DELUSIONAL.

    America is being robbed, and everyone is just whistling dixie...

          What do you guys suggest we do about it?

                  seriously....good for the 1%. I don't need to be a 1% billionaire. I just want my piece of the pie....

                  Russian has the most billionaires, and a lot more people in poverty then America. Why not talk about Russia?

                  Every country is like this....There are a small amount of very rich people, a little bit more semi rich people. A decent amount of middle class, and a shitload of people with nothing. Its been like that forever. The only thing that makes it worse is public assistance..

                          The middle class is shrinking in the name of higher productivity. That's a fact. However from my POV in a capitalist system there isn't much that can be done about it.

                          Play the rules and become part of the 0.1 % I guess.

                                  The middle class is shrinking, the rich are growing. There are a lot more millionaires now then there used to be.

                                  Work hard, make money, be happy. The problem now is that with media, everyone knows what everyone else has. Everyone knows what kin of cars celebs drive, what charity events wealthy people are attending, how mich people are spending. Before the internet no one knew. Now there are jealous people, haters etc... People see more of it an want it and are not content with what they have. Even if it is enough to have a good life.

                                  But there are many other countries where the division of rich a d poor is much greater then the USA

                                      There's nothing wrong with being richer than everyone else...but most of the time that wealth is gained at the expense of the rest of us. Some fuckers got filthy rich from the credit default swap debacle and look at all of the lives affected by it. Even if your house wasn't foreclosed on, it still affected you in some way. No one is in jail for basically raping our economy because they've stacked the odds in their favor.

                                      When I say rich, I'm not talking about millionaires --- I mean people who move around numbers and gamble to make their fortunes. No one should be demonizing a Bill Gates, or Apple, or some tech guy who got rich with his internet startup. It's just those scum like the Koch brothers and the Mitt Romneys who are the problem.

                                          Russia doesn't have the most billionaires. Far from it actually.

                                              If you aren't making enough money to create your own happiness, it's not their fault... Or anyone elses for that matter.

                                                  Lots of people who work hard and play by the rules got fucked by the financial meltdown.

                                                          you mean all the people who lost everything because they had all their investments in one thing and relied on other peoples decisions, speculation and work where they had zero control over the outcome?

Different people have different skill sets and traditionally they've done best in life by doing what they do best for a living... even if that means working for someone else.

                                                                                              Oh grow the fuck up. Another asshole patting himself on the back for having a job, imagining millions of people living high on the hog on his dime. It's bullshit, but it makes people feel like heroes just for going to work. And it's a myth spread far & wide by the very richest in society. They WANT you to resent the poor. Don't be such a rube.

Different people have different skill sets and traditionally they've done best in life by doing what they do best for a living... even if that means working for someone else.

                                                                                                  Until rather recently that system worked quite well for everybody involved including the nation as a whole.

                                                                                                  Now, not so much.
                                                                                                  That's right. And not everybody wants to pursue wealth. What if someone wants to be a teacher? That takes quite a bit of education and patients. And who could argue that that isn't an important job; one that not everyone can do. Are they to BLAME because they didn't set out to get rich by whatever means necessary?

                                                                                                  What about an EMT? When you're bleeding on the road, would you rather have a hedge fund manager be the first person you see?

                                                                                                  Neither of those jobs pay much, but both are occupations that contribute more to society than 100 Wall Street douchebags pushing paper and moving money.

                                                                                                  Our priorities are all fucked up. Our system is geared by the rich for the rich (they're certainly not going to set it up any other way). The good news is we all get to participate in this society to make it fairer, happier and more peaceful. The bad news is far too few people realize it. We don't need to pick up guns to start a revolution. A phone will do.

                                                                                                      Work hard, make money, be happy. The problem now is that with media, everyone knows what everyone else has. Everyone knows what kin of cars celebs drive, what charity events wealthy people are attending, how mich people are spending. Before the internet no one knew. Now there are jealous people, haters etc... People see more of it an want it and are not content with what they have. Even if it is enough to have a good life.
                                                                                                      Millions don't have enough to have a good life, and that's because our system is fucked up. The decent paying jobs that once would have sustained them are gone in the name of bigger corporate profits, and our tax laws are extremely complicated so that the richest people in the world can write off their yachts.
