really offsets
let's talk about the a massive income inequality the rush has
a reminded us of which I don't know where he would stand on this will its
government's fault yeah it's actually I would think at some level
we certainly a policies that a.m.
allow for
this massive a income inequality the top one percent in pro
incomes grew by 30 1.4 percent while the bottom 99 percent incomes grew up by
only
.4 percent from 09 2 2012
the top one percent captured ninety
5 percent income gains from the first three years at the so-called
recovery I would imagine a lot of that
is from capital gains
top one percent took more than one-fifth of the income earned by Americans
when the highest levels on record since 1913
when the government instituted an income tax
about
half american whole households hold stock directly or through vehicles like
pension accounts
but the richest 10 percent of households own
ninety percent of the stock are you clear what that means
the top 10 percent wealthy in this country owned
ninety percent up the stock
owned by Americans the remaining 10 percent
is held by another 40 percent have the country
fifty percent Ono stocks
40 a percent Americans own
10 percent of all stocks and then ten percent own
ninety percent of all stocks it's just a matter about ambition
you know the term pull yourself up by your bootstraps
was first coined in irony because you cannot
pull yourself up by your own bootstraps is
literally impossible
I watch my
six-month-old son try and do it all the time pick himself up by his feet it
doesn't work
