Of about 80% of the income that use to run our government a few decades back, half that is in the hands of the super rich, who now pay less then half the taxes they did before creating the shortfalls we are experiencing now. Which Government Representative of yours will tell you that the only thing that will recover the US Economy, is a strong middle class, while the super rich are running class warfare on us trying to get all the wealth the middle class use to have, and a you might still have some of. By my reckoning, the super rich have about a 66%+ representation in Congress and the Senate, while they are less then 5% of the population, yet control over 40% of all the wealth in this nation. Good vid, get some better details then I just shared, and it didn't seem like 2 minutes longer either.
