Attack on the Feds independence

I think that the vast majority of Americans just have no clue how extreme wealth inequality is and how much worse it has gotten in the last few decades. It should be one of the most important political issues in our nation, affecting so many others that people are up in arms about, like affordability, social security, etc. But it's not even on the radar for most and is thought of as a fringe issue, only cared about by Bernie and other left-wing whack jobs. Folks on the left and right should be very concerned, IMO.
Wealth "inequality" is another lie from the left...... tickles a lot of peoples ears, but its not sustainable, not American & not moral.
 
Does this control for age at all?

Many populations there are older than US. The median American is 3 years younger than the median Canadian.

I doubt it does.

There is no doubt that in most cases wealth accumulates thru a lifetime, unless you win the birth lottery. I also do not think that is enough to explain the difference in the median wealth between the US and Canada.
 
Please explain. It reads as though you think wealth is equally and equitably distributed throughout the American population.
The lie is that by taking someone else's money, you will improve your situation, and that is not sustainable. I've been poor, and never felt entitled to someone else's money. A lot of people think this way. And a growing number apparently don't.

But why is it ok for the ultra wealthy to keep paying our politicians to find ways to use OUR money to enrich themselves at a greater and greater rate?

The middle class is demonstrably shrinking, and falling further and further into a financial abyss not of our making. That isn’t sustainable either. So what’s the solution?

I suppose we need to pick better leaders. Both parties.

Cut the taxes for the middle class, encourage business to expand, cut regulations to get more people jobs & let the free market decide. Get the Government Out of the WAY.
