Eye-Opener: PBS.org--Paul Solomon shows how the US most
clearly resembles China and India when it comes
to Wealth Distribution. Psst, no one group in
the US recognizes this. People over 460,000 dollars
annually--millionnaires and billionaires do not
believe they own Eighty(80) percent of all money
property assets in this country.

The bottom third poor and working poor do not
believe they have Four (4)percent of the Wealth
and property assets in this country

Go to PBS.org and check out Paul Solomon.

The Pie Charts are really enlightening. We are
closest to China and India in distribution but
on the street interviews show people think we
are like Sweden which has the most equal distribution.

4. Germany, sure; Canada until the very recent past, also.
Unfortunately, in many respects our northern neighbors seem to be catching our social diseases.
