I think the numbers and commentary speak for themselves. I am curious to see what some of you make of it.

You do like Thomas Sowell. :)
Re: US inequality of wealth....shocking statistics
The important things always left out is that wealth is not finite nor a zero sum game. One person gaining in wealth does note equate or necessitate one person losing wealth.

So this clown thinks that people asking for wealth distribution to be ratcheted back to how it was forty years ago is the modern equivalent of the Holocaust?

Further proof of how truly simple you are. It's little use arguing with you because no matter how fucking stupid you are you'll always claim to be right.
He compared OWS to Kristelnacht, not The Holocaust you fucking simp. Just how dumb are you? If you don't understand the difference between the two then may God help you because you're far dumber than most

Mile's video misrepresents the issues. If you can't be bothered to watch a couple 2-5 min videos then I can't be bothered to explain much further.

Inequality does need to be tacked in a fair and just society. People need to be provided the opportunites to move on in life and be a real part of society. Education, training and employment are ways to progress for the lower class citizens.

And in America they get that. The issue the lefties have is inequality of OUTCOME not opportunity

I would argue that the rich have the issue with this. They want their billions to go to their offspring and I disagree. It should all be taken away. In the end you are all equal again, so Paris Hilton, do what you can because if I'm in charge, there is no inheritance. If you haven't earned it, then we are taking it away from you. If your father hides the money away, then we will investigate as that will be illegal and you will become a normal person. Shoulda a studied at school, eh or become a high flight hooker.

If the outcomes are even more inequality then the opportunities may not be there.
