    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...

    the 1% have "ruled" the US for well over 50 years now :P welll definitely since the 80s :P

    but seriously the whole "by your peers" things is overrated I for one am glad that most things happen as "scripted" in the political/economical sense of the word in this country :P

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

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

    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
