For me, our entitlements favor heavily towards the percentage of stock, (89% to 93%) in Wall Street that favors the top 10 percent of wealth in this country depending on what source viewed. And the top 1% garnering 38% of that stock in Wall Street.
The rest of us drop off precipitously from there depending on your ability to keep up with the cost of living.
The post war boom of the standard of living meant people could move up more easily the economic ladder. But that ladder has been kicked out from under us ever since the conversion to being a service oriented financialized economy. And it's eroded our country in so many metrics of standards that today we're feeling the pain it's brought on.
And our government has been assimilated by that upper percentile, particularly the top decimal to favor its advantage. Which has warped our whole political and social fabric of life.
This isn't unique. Its played out in history. Rome & Greece are the closest indicators of such rise and fall of empires. Corruption from within.
