They are optimistic. Actually, wealth is even more unevenly distributed. :P

Don't worry! The poors can just pull themself up by their bootstraps! They can get jobs that don't pay living wages, and when they complain we'll rag on em on how they should've made better decisions! Like being born into a wealthy family...

Anybody have any stats on wealth distribution during the great depression? I can't imagine it was much better.

It is much better elsewhere. Of the developed world, the US is one of the worst. Income-wise, at least.

The developed world being... roughly 1% of the population of the entire planet? Ok, just making sure.

1% has been a thing for a while.. like back when kings eat pig and turkey and drink wine until they puke, then cut someone's head off for stealing an apple for their starving child
