Disturbing Statistics on the Decline of America's Middle Class - DailyFinance

An article showing how much wealth is funneled up and just how many 'stable' factory jobs have been shipped overseas. If that isn't a decimation of an entire sector of the population, then I struggle to imagine anything convincing anybody.

The bottom 40% control less than 1% of the nations wealth.
The middle 20% control 6%.
And the elite 1% control over 40%.

It must be because most of the country are lazy bums who get everything handed to them. It couldn't be that wealth has been sucked up by the super rich at the expensive of everyone else. That would be the commonsense way to approach it.
