Molly O’Shea(@MollySOShea):David @friedberg says billionaires didn't cause the wealth inequality gap: "People think there's this small cabal of people that have everything in America." The reality: › $183 Trillion: Total net worth of Americans › $8 Trillion (4%): Net worth of billionaires › $4 Trillion (2%): Net worth of bottom 50% › $170 Trillion (93%): Net worth of middle class "So it is true that the billionaires have 2x as much as the bottom 50%." "But it's $170 trillion that the middle class of America has." " So the middle class is really where all of the net worth in America accumulated." "Yes, there's an ultra-rich group that has a lot of assets, but this is really what won in America in the last half century—that middle class. But the problem is the bottom 50% left behind." "That's I think, what is really driving and motivating this socialism today." "While there is wealth inequality, the statistics are a little bit different than what everyone groks."
