Income and Wealth Inequality in America




Income and Wealth Inequality in America

In 2004  (the most recent year data is available) the wealthiest 1 percent of families owned roughly 34.3% of the nation's net worth, the top 10% of families owned over 71%, and the bottom 40% of the population owned way less than 1%.

In 2009, 43.6 million people were in poverty in America.  Why aren’t they rioting?
Who speaks for the people in poverty in America?
