Did Anyone Hear BBC—USA ranking on wealth distribution? |
|
If I heard correctly, in the industrialized countries only Russia and Mexico were worse than the USA in the gap between the Rich and the middle-class; the USA ranked 28th out of 30 countries.
Did anyone hear this it was during the segment: Is the American Dream Dead.

it's the middle class who keeps voting in idiots like chimp and doesn't connect the dots that they are being squeezed out.

7. Our Gini Index is on par with places like Khazakstan. |

We have staggeringly high wealth inequality.
"Well, that means the American Dream is working, and people are able to get right beyong they're imaginings!" "Yeah, true, but it also means that alot of people are sleeping rough and you have children starving within sight of those incredbily rich."
