New data available from the U. S. Federal Reserve shows that the wealth gap in America has widened and economic inequality has increased in 2020 amidst a coronavirus pandemic that has disproportionately impacted low-wage service workers and people of color, which coincides with a report published...

A critical factor in the explosion of wealth among a particular segment of the U.S. population has been access and exposure to the stock market.

The Fed estimates that the wealthiest 10% of Americans hold more than 88% of all available equity in corporations and mutual fund shares .The numbers have been trending in this direction for a long time. The data provided by the Federal Reserve tracks back to 1989, and it shows that over the past three decades, the top 10% of U.S. households have seen their wealth rise by almost ten percentage points , while the total wealth controlled by the bottom 50% has been nearly cut in half .

'Top 1% Of U.S. Households Hold 15 Times More Wealth Than Bottom 50% Combined' That's because top 1% need more tax cuts and the bottom 50% have a debt of $25 Trillion to pay off. It isn't fair for tomorrow's kids.. JeffBezos BillGates ElonMusk CNBC WSJ Business UN4Youth

Makes sense and also explains our “NATIONAL” debt. The worlds “Royal”economic & entertainment puppet? TimeAndMoney - 🇺🇸🦍😏

Why they put Elon’s picture up, he the only one doing something good for humanity

Wait see what will happen if Dems take control

Of all the billionaire's you put Elon Musk a person who owns a rocket company which is hardly profitable due to R&D and a car company with low margins leaving billionaire's making more by exploiting their customers....why can't boldie be at the cover hmm

Impressive

you should throw in how elon has been advocating for a basic income for people

Don't touch Elon Musk

Forbes 👍🥰 ElonMusk 😍💓

So what it’s always been that and will always be that way

I believe in GOOD monopolies, I believe in patience in change. I believe the system is getting better to put the money in good people to create good monopolies. We need good health not being monopolized. Wealth can help for innovation which will be the tru answer.❤️❤️TIME❤️❤️

Socialism for the rich, Capitalism for the poor

This is the result of big government. Neither party writes bills or laws. They have lobbyists write legislation that favor the powerful corporations over small businesses. The fed prints money increasing the value of real estate and stocks. Fire them all.

Musk is not a very good example for this article. He just sold most of his possessions and his wealth is invested in his companies, providing well payed jobs to ~50K people and pushing technologies forward. PS: Starlink is already at 100Mbps speed and 30ms latency 😎👍

Why use a picture of Elon? This is dumb.

So being bright and innovative like elonmusk and JeffBezos is a bad thing? All Americans have the same opportunity.

Same in North Korea. Same in Nigeria.

This is our real economy, and why the stock market rise has very little use for most Americans.

Top 1% of Elon Musk's head is a wig.

Good choice of thumbnail. It displays Musk’s true cuntiness.

Here is a classic from Mark Twain: — 'I've never wished a man dead, but I have read some obituaries with great pleasure.' Hey Steven I am feeling great. I don’t have the virus!! You know why? I followed the sciences and they are right. People should listen to them not some fruit cake who pretends he is a President. Hope you feel better soon cause you are going to really see what sick is.
