Is it any surprise that political violence is on the rise in the United States🇺🇸? The richest 1% in the United States own 32.5% of all household wealth. The top 1% owns more than the bottom 90% of Americans combined. The bottom 50% (67.6 million households) own only 2.3% of the US’ wealth. The top 0.1% owns 6.5% owns more than the poorest 50%. The top 1% own over half the stock market. The bottom 50% own less than 1% of corporate stocks and mutual fund shares. The richest 10% own roughly two-thirds of US wealth. The entire US economy has been rigged to produce monstrous concentrations of wealth into the hands of a tiny oligarchy, while the rest own nothing, and are wage+debt slaves.
