Essay by Steven W. Thasher snippets: > A new report from the Institute for Policy Studies issued this week analyzed > the Forbes list of the 400 richest Americans and found that “the wealthiest > 100 households now own about as much wealth as the entire African American > population in the United States”. That means that 100 families – most of whom > are white – have as much wealth as the 41,000,000 black folks walking around > the country (and the million or so locked up) combined. > > Similarly, the report also stated that “the wealthiest 186 members of the > Forbes 400 own as much wealth as the entire Latino population” of the nation. > Here again, the breakdown in actual humans is broke down: 186 overwhelmingly > white folks have more money than that an astounding 55,000,000 Latino people. _______________________________________________ pen-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.csuchico.edu/mailman/listinfo/pen-l
