Articles like this make it sound like wealth is a finite thing or number, and of course, the super-rich have the lion’s share. The fact is most average people are a lot wealthier than they were 40-50 years ago. I grew up with seven siblings in a lower-middle class family. We would have been considered poor today. Now I have two or three siblings with total wealth over one million. And my wife and I are doing quite well, thank you. However, if the trend towards quasi-commies like Obama continues, total wealth will decline. Socialism will eventually kill all healthy economies.
