Economic Inequality

[thir]

I recently watched a video that visually demonstrates the current economic inequality in the US. What I found interesting about it was the differences between how the majority of Americans think things should be compared to their perception of how things really are, and both then compared to the actual data related to the current economic situation.

Here is the link to the video if you have a few minutes to spare on an interesting topic.

Hence the Occupy movement on so many countries - US isn't the only one, though I would really like to know how it looks in both UK and DK. We used to say in DK that it is going well when few have too much and fewer still too little - but it isn't going so well lately.

It is certain that without some sort of economical equality you have no democracy. And a country - any country - with so uneven a distribution is not a democracy.
