It’s indisputable that wealth inequality is growing and doing so at an alarming rate. The Occupy Wall Street movement of years past focussed on the inequality between the 99% and the 1%, but the distribution of wealth has become even more uneven than that. The real disparity is between the .1% that hold as much wealth as the bottom 90% of the United States population.

The problem here is that this growing inequality is not sustainable and is a marker of an unhealthy economy. Our economic structure is not a given, and is something that has historically been revisited many times over. I think we’re far from violent upheaval, but, continued unabated, it may very well end there.

So, it’s clear that the gap is widening, but why is it happening? Well, one reason is that those that have money have the benefit of compounding interest while those that don’t are stuck in a spiral of debt paying that interest to those that issue the credit to them.

The other reason is one of political structure. The rules of the economic game we find ourselves in are changed by those that have the power and access to change or directly influence the changing of those rules. Taxation – the tax structure, the types of income taxed, the loopholes that exist – is a major component of how the wealthy are able to hold onto their income.

There are many other contributing factors to the growing income inequality in the United States, so watch the video for my opinion, and please share your thoughts!
