1. I guess we could start by amending the Tax Code

to soak the uber-rich. Just sayin'

[watoos]

10. or.. Stop balancing

state budgets by cutting workers jobs, wages, and benefits. I should have said, stop trying to balance the budget, since 70% of GDP comes from consumer spending. No need to look at soaking the uber rich if we are all playing on a level playing field, ehh?

14. God forbid.....

3. And the other American wishes you would give us a summation!

I'm not ever, ever clicking on a link like this without at least a hint about the subject matter.

4. Misperceptions about wealth distribution in America.

You are not required to click on links, read posts or any other activity. Your decisions are your own.

17. There's nothing wrong in asking for a summation.

It's actually a DU tradition and most people are appreciative.

Lots of people read DU from their phones and clicking on links is time consuming and battery consuming.

I usually don't click on links either from my desktop if there's no summation. I look at the thread and see the reaction in the posts and decide from there.

5. +1. Posters can invest time "selling" their videos (convincing us to watch).

The posters can spend one minute writing out a paragraph explaining the main point and making a convincing case for watching the video.

That is a much better investment of time than requiring a hundred or a thousand curious people to invest one minute each watching enough to decide whether or not to continue.

It is much faster to read a summary than to watch the first minute of a video.

However, some people do not understand this concept. If it is because they have difficulty reading, then they are excused.

9. Thank you.

The graphic has "Inequality America" in the upper left corner. It shows icons of people divided into segments. Although it is not entirely self explanatory, it does suggest that it has something to do with inequality and segments of the population.

I'm never quite sure what is so difficult about inductive reasoning.

18. Maybe it says that on your screen, but not mine.

It says "9 out of 10 Ameri..."

Even less than of a hint than the OP's sub line.

19. Now that you know what it is about I suggest you watch it.

Wealth disparity has reached a crisis level in this nation. I urge you to watch it.

The video has been posted on DU hundreds of times by now.

8. It's a really interesting series of graphics that explains American ideas about wealth distribution

VS the realities. Shows you what the stats "look like" in a sense. I think it's pretty well done.

12. Agreed. webequette on DU is,,, non-existent to bad.

6. This is a good vid

But I would have like to see an excerpt and a chart.

It did a good job selling the dreaded "socialism", considering that fact they threw at us- 7% of the wealth among the lowest 70% of us.

Someone got sold a bill of goods about how great our system is.

11. Awesome video. nt

13. The conservative revolution,

I knew this would not be good.

20. Clear explanation of the problem

I only wish that 40% of Americans who have bought into the media and Republican lies would understand and accept this.
