when you ask the american people
how much money
should the top twenty percent of income earners in the country make
they say
thirty two percent
so clearly the american people are capitalists they don't want one hundred
percent equal distribution they don't want equality of outcome they just want
you quality of opportunity
and look very few if anybody is an actual communist unwanted nearly
everything on a boy
and it shows you that the top twenty percent the american people say
should make thirty two percent
so uh...
west's
how much do you think the top twenty percent actually make
the answer is very
but it was up more
then the ideal they thought the top twenty percent
made more than what they wanted the top twenty percent to make
so they said at probably forty percent of fifty percent of wealth that's how
much they thought the top twenty percent mate
how much they actually make
in the united states
the top twenty percent
eighty-four percent of the income
so let's go over those numbers one more time
the ideal according to the american people is a lot more fair we don't want
equal distribution across the board that's crazy doesn't make sense the top
twenty percent you make thirty two percent of the wealth
they thought added probably make forty or fifty percent of wealth
in reality
they make eighty four percent
that's devastating
meanwhile
the country's that week all socialist likes women
in reality they're not socialist their was called welfare states or in
political science terms
social democracies
because their hybrid capitalist and government like we are
except they just have slightly more government than we do
and in more of the right places
so their top twenty percent in sweden
has thirty six percent of the wealth
so that means that the american people
wireless system
that's more progressive
thence we did
that something you're not going to mainstream media tell you
there's that old-school mantra that they parrot all the times morrison to write
country where center-right country really based on what
because this tell those that were not just
not even a centralized country we're just the left country
uh...
with the rich in this country don't get
and this is the most important part here is
you want people
to the original
to buy your goods if you're a captain of industry just like henry ford said he
wanted people to be able to wise cars
the level of income inequality that we have is bad for everybody
injuring the golden age of economic expansion when everybody did well
we had the middle class that was the end the of the world
rising tide lifting all boats
the top one percent made between eight percent and twelve percent of the total
income
right before the great depression in nineteen twenty nine or that number was
twenty four percent
right before the great recession in two thousand a you know that number was
twenty four percent
you know that number is
today
twenty four percent
better times when the economy's actually functioning
the numbers between
eight percent and twelve percent
it varies between their that's the amount of income the top one percent
when it's out of whack
and we have or recession or depression or boom-bust cycles
that number is twenty four percent
i'm not a genius i'm not a mathematician
but that seems to me
pretty obvious that it's a big problem
