Default Wealth Distribution Video, wow

Caught this video on You Tube, it is staggering to see who has the largest pile of money. Don't know if any of you feel your earning less and less, some are not, but boy it seems like one has to give themselves away now a days to make what we use to with less effort. Many of the customers I have are less willing to spend money on remodels and so I find myself doing the same work for less money just to keep the coin coming in to satisfy monthly bills. Seems like the mid-wealthy are hurting too and us lesser types have to take what we can get for ourselves. Anyone else know of friends who are struggling or are you yourself just scratching out a living and not really able to tuck anything away for the rainy day scenario? This video shows who holds most of the money today in America. And no I don't know the solution to moving up in the food chain. Furthering your education may shuttle you up a slim amount, yet your possibly now further indebted to the financing of your education which could take years to completely pay off. It's just depressing to know and understand most of us are never going to get out of the trenches.... Now back to work and keep that smile glued to your faces!! Link to video below:

No, don't know that a revolution would solve anything, but destroy what most of us have. We just need reform in laws and such, more than I have the I.Q. to understand. But it is just so upside down and will only get worse as big corporations like G.E. and such pay NO taxes and still get hundreds of millions in IRS refunds. And the families who own these big corporations laugh all the way to the bank as they buy their new toys. These one people I have worked for, their 17 year old drives a $85,000 Range Rover to high school... REALLY?
