As Seen On Forbes: Wealth Inequality Is At Roaring Twenties Levels

in #inequality5 years ago

One of the topics of conversation during the next Presidential campaign is going to be the inequality of wealth. The gap between the rich and the other classes of people grew the last decade. Many use this to state capitialism is dead. This author makes the case that it is the actions of the Fed and the wealth bubble that was created is too blame.

Many want to implement higher tax rates on the rich as an answer to this inequality issue. The problem with that is it ignores the main premise of what caused the problem

It is not capitalism that created this situation. Instead, we see Central Bank intervention (read meddling) as the cause The financial manipulation these institutions implemented across the world caused the "Bubble of everything".

The problem with the view of many is they believe this is permanent. It is not. Once the asset bubbles start popping, a reversion to the mean will take place. The reason for this is simple: the wealthy benefited from the easy money policies since they are the ones who own the assets that are inflated. When they pop, guess who is stuck holding the bag?

Income inequality has been steadily rising for the last 30 years! That's what I like to tell people that claim to be pro oil. A few new jobs ain't gonna stop the rich from getting richer. Time to stop the false hope, get out of the brainwash
