Latest American average wealth statistics:
Whites: $629,736
African Americans: $97,995
Hispanics: $108,871
You can argue all day about the crudity of the above statistics and point out that “average” is meaningless unless you know that the top 1% gobble up the greatest proportion of the wealth. Nevertheless , you have to wonder how our politicians have allowed this dreadful situation to develop. And it appears that the very wealthy are in effect above the law ( no one has been taken to court following the great financial swindle)
How did the politicians allow the terrible discrepancies in wealth to occur is one question. The follow-up and more disastrous outcome: by whom, how and why were and are they allowed to continue above the law?
