Required entry: Watch Youtube video “Wealth Inequality in the United States”

First thing that struck me about this video is that it was made in 2012 and the narrator mentions that some of his research was from 2009- which I can’t imagine how vast this has changed since then. Wealthy getting even more wealthy and the poor becoming poorer. Also, in classes we talked about the real-verses the ideal; and even what people thoughtwas the real, is so far from what the reality actually is. From the previous entries, we had to read this week, it seems America is really good at keeping people working for something they think is attainable but truely is not; unless your born into it or become some type of celebrity. With what’s going on right now (Covid19) I’ve seen several posts online saying how the billionaires in our country could help so many of the people who recently became unemployed because of the pandemic and still be a billionaire and watching this video it’s seems extremely true. That ‘one guy’ (in the video) could have helped out all 99 others and still have so much more money.
