I think the headline is misleading, if not a flat out lie. Americans know who has money...almost everyone else. The average American is living paycheck to paycheck, or worse...they know that their friends are living in the same situation. We know that people like Bill Gates, Warren Buffet, and future Mark Zuckerbergs hold billions.
I don't really know anyone that is confused or surprised when they hear that this is how the country's wealth is distributed.
- wladimir 16y agoIndeed. The USA has a huge divide between poor and rich for a developed country. Their poor can hardly come by, their healthcare system is a mess, and even basic infrastructure is underdeveloped in a lot of areas. And the funny thing is, even though many people agree with that, everyone is coming up with excuses. No one is addressing the problem on how to narrow the poor-rich divide instead of further widen it in any meaningful way. They all are caught up in discussions about details such as 'should we increase tax this year' which will probably have zero influence in the big picture. But the most disgusting thing to me is that they are still trying to push their system of corporate plutocracy on the rest of the world, as if it is the best thing since sliced bread.
