Wealth Distribution

video

- ICM Poll asked 2000 people 'How should wealth be distributed?'

- All this is caused by 30 years of pre-existing inequality
- The richest 1% have the equivalent wealth of 60% of the population


How people think it should be:
- Richest 20% have 25% of wealth
- Poorest 20% have 15% of wealth
(Even in Utopia it would not be equal - some people would have more money)

How people think it i:
- Richest 20% have 40% of wealth
- Poorest 20% have 9% of wealth

How it actually is:
- Richest 20% have 60% of wealth (2x as much as everyone else together)
- Poorest 20% have >1% of wealth
