The top 0.1% is the part that surprises me here. You always hear about the 80/20 split or whatever, but apparently at that level, not even that can describe the situation. The extreme wealth at the top is so wild that it's a damn shame that we can't at least provide people with their basic needs as a baseline.

Such an important video. This topic needs to be brought back with the fervor and pitch that it had during the 2007 financial crisis… that to me was always going to be the silver lining of that crash; people would rise up and demand better from their country. Instead, quite suspiciously, the political narrative in the country quickly took a hard turn and suddenly we all found ourselves fighting about gender and race, rather that economics. There’s a big difference here. When we talk economics, we’re united against the 1%. When we talk identity politics, we fight each other. That’s exactly how they want it.

The 1% of the wealth belongs to glorified admins and gamblers who don't make money by producing necessities but by convincing people that their product is a necessity. My question is if the ones who handle the money get paid the most who's going to actually do the work that made the money? These people have assets and investments too. Why are the people who handle the money taking such a huge chunk for themselves?

Also the tax bracket we use is outdated. $400,000 in the 1940s was for the very top of the us ecosystem like having a separate bracket for the very rich. Now 400000 can mean doctors and lawyers even household incomes in expensive areas who arent outrageously rich are paired with Jeff Bezos. So they will vote for lower taxes. And thats part of the problem.

Wow. A video showing the absolute insanity that is the disparity between the poor, poor, poor and the far-too-rich, from a year ago, that only has 1,800 views. I wonder why the 'algorithm' didn't pick this up and spread it far and wide?
@shikyokira3065Ай бұрын
Because this video presents the data badly. Wealth growth that matters is a growth in % not in absolute number. If you have a skill that can grow wealth by $100,000 dollars per year, that's your worth in money terms. If you have skill that can grow any size of wealth by 20% per year, people will give you billions to make that happen, your worth will be $20m assuming you have $1b

Wealth inequality might be bad, but what this graph fails to show is that while the rich are getting richer, the poor are also getting richer. There isn't a limited amount of wealth that people just divide among themselves, with the rich getting most of it and leaving the crumbs to the poor. Wealth is constantly being created, so everybody gets richer, including the poor. The rich just get richer more quickly than anyone else because they provide goods and services that people actually want. Also, net worth gives off the wrong image. It's not like Bezos could just sell all of his assets and have 100 billion dollars, he could freely spend. He would have to pay lots of taxes, and the price would definetely go down when he's selling all his shares. His net worth is just a theoretical amount of money all his assets are worth, not liquid wealth he can use.

@s409842927 күн бұрын
The problem is the quality of data, and your definition of wealth. The number of millionaires and billionaires is unknown, only the ones who want to be known are famous, plenty would prefer to remain private. Also you define wealth as the value of everything they own, this is very complicated for tax reasons. Elon Musk’s wealth is all on paper; if he tried to sell everything he wouldn’t get face value for it. There is also the question of individual vs household; are Elon Musk’s children wealthy? They probably don’t own anything, but they live well, a trust pays for their expenses, but your chart wouldn’t count them as wealthy.
