63% of Americans can not pay for a $500 emergency with funds from a savings account.

 

Then you have other Americans who give their 17 year old a BMW to drive to high school.

 

The wealth inequality in this country is one of our biggest problems, and it's getting worse every day.

 

 

Unequal because a guy wants to buy his kid a Beamer? I get the inequality when you are talking about the global elite but what you are envious of is the upper middle class. Get a better job. Get educated or a real novel idea, work harder. Everyone should just stop believing the phony narratives being marketed to get people to vote this way or another. It's not the rich that are fvcking you. It's the government in league with global corps. Get mad at the right people.

That's not 'wealth inequality', that's the difference between people who understand how to manage their resources vs people who don't.   Handing more free money to the 63% isn't going to result in them having any additional saving.  Unless you are an off the boat immigrant who can't speak English, there is absolutely no excuse whatsoever to not have the ability to pay for a $500 emergency.   And that excuse is only good for about a year.

 

Maybe you can share what portion of that 63% own a cell phone and have cable/satellite TV service.

 

It's idiocy like this that leads countries to end up like Greece.

 

 

 

 

Never been a better time in history to be poor
