According to census data the top 5% of US population hold 90% of US wealth (try to picture that, the remaining 95% share 10% of all property and assets). The leading attitude of the to 5% is to deserve being rich for their hard work, intelligence... Looking at this fact with a sober mind, it is hard to belief, the bottom 95% are just not smart enough, or just lazy. Fact is, the capitalist system allows the "Haves" to exploit the "Have Nots" all over the world, through managing their money on the stock market and such as. This is a system of injustice, and has nothing to do with wealth earned through hard productive work. The top 5% would most likely not lay on the floor in agony and pain, if the bottom 95% would allow them to hold only 40% of all wealth, or so, they still would be the top 5%, and the US as a country would not be bankrupt either. That is, what it should be about.
