Rich get richer...

The richest 1% percent of America owns close to 40% of our entire wealth. This distribution of wealth seems extremely disproportionate. Many believe that the rich are simply getting richer, and poor are simply getting poorer. 1 out of 3 Americans lives below the poverty line. 1 out of 6 Americans are starving, and don't know where their next meal will come from.

These numbers are shocking for many, but what can we do to change this? Ponder this question for a few mins. and come to some conclusions. Does something need to change? Do the citizens of America need to act, or is this the responsibility of the govt? Should we rely on the govt to do something? Can you come up with an idea that could make a difference and change disproportionate distribution of wealth in this country?

ps...just to prove to you just how rich some people are becoming,


This guy spent more on one lunch than I earn for an entire year as a teacher.
