America aren’t against people who make money they are against those who are making the money on the backs of poorly paid works with les and less benefits while the roll in huge profits crazy CEO pay and being all about the share holders , at employees expense.


Over the past 40 years, those at the top of the money food chain have seen their wealth grow at a rate far outpacing everyone else, according to a new analysis released by the Economic Policy Institute, a liberal research group.
In the early 1960s, the top 1 percent of households in terms of net worth held 125 times the median wealth in the United States. Today, that gap has grown to 190 times.




The top 20 percent of wealth-holding households, meanwhile, held 15 times the overall median wealth in the early 1960s. By 2004, that gap had grown to 23 times.
"In 21st century America, wealth begets wealth, and those without wealth find it farther out of reach," the report's authors write.
