The rich get richer in the USA

This 20 November 2018 video from Senator Bernie Sanders in the USA says about itself:

Three Richest Families’ Wealth Grew 6,000%

The three richest families in America have seen their wealth increase by 6,000% since 1982, while the median household has seen its wealth go down by 3%. That is what a rigged economy looks like. (Report by Institute for Policy Studies)

Over 40 years, income per person doubled. But half our people live paycheck to paycheck. Why?

Because the top 1% captured 45% of new income. And the median hourly wage grew by $2 over 40 years.

This is a rigged economy. And the working class needs to come together to fix it.
