The Growing Gap Between Rich and Poor
I found this interesting link on the growing gap between rich and poor:

Quote:
Of all high-income nations, the United States has the most unequal distribution of income, with over 30 percent of income in the hands of the richest 10 percentand only 1.8 percent going to the poorest 10 percent.

That is the post mark of a third world or dictatorship run country!
When 10% of the people own 90% of the wealth and 90% of
the people have 10% of the wealth you know your screwed!

Dictatorship = 1 party Gov't
USA = 2 party Gov't

We are half way there !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I agree with you. As long as the money is earned legally, I don't have problem with people getting rich as hell. I just wish it were me. I need to get to the drawing board.

That's how some people do it for sure. But that's ignoring the "legal" part of my post.
You're a nut.

Which is basic nonsense. The problem appears because the USA has been growing so wealthy, more middle class are moving up to "rich," and not as many are moving from poor to middle class. This latter issue is because of immigration (which tend to be made up of poor people) has increased which has driven up the numbers of poor in the USA.
The conclusion being made, or trying to be made is that the "rich are getting richer and the poor are getting richer" is false.

If you read your post, then you would know 'basic nonsense'.
