Income inequality

I stumbled upon this post by Forbes. It would be funny if it were not tragic. In the end it says "When income and wealth inequality are growing, unease in our lives is shrinking". Of course "our lives" refers to the lives of billionaires, but  I remember that the years of highest income inequalities in the USA were 1929 and 2008, the years of collapse. Anyway, the problem is not that the rich says that his prosperity is the nation's prosperity. They always said so. The problem is that more and more poor people already believe the same.
