United for a Fair Economy has an interesting report out...
http://www.stw.org/assets/DivDec.pdf
In Summary, 1% of the people own 44% of the wealth (the highest since
*drumroll* ...1929), and 400 people own 11% of it all. The poor are
getting poorer and most people are in debt up to their eyeballs.
Survival of the fittest at its best.
It is left as an exercise for the reader what a 12% and growing poverty
rate combined with the 2nd ammendment and stock crash will lead to.
Feel free to cite examples from the periodic collapses of past
civilizations.
