Data about “What’s Happened to Income & Wealth” in US by UC Berkeley Professor Reich.
1.5 hr, but just 1st 30 min. are enough.

It really is shocking just how much of the income in the US has been appropriated by the top 0.1% and 0.01% of income earners, since 1980 and especially in the last few years.

Note, the link in the 1st reply below is a totally different, but interesting video.

What is baffling is why do we have so many morons in America that want to protect the wealthy and corporations when they aren't even wealthy themselves?

There needs to be a pejorative word for these kinds of morons. Basically class sellouts.

@Rancid

The question is, what do they hope to gain by being a sellout? Is it that they are uneducated, incapable of critical thinking and therefore easy to brainwash and manipulate by telling them what they want to hear rather than what they need to hear, which is the truth?

They have nothing to gain, that is precisely what makes them morons.
