When I first learned about the distribution of personal or privately held wealth  (DOW), I reacted like most people do. I haven't been able to find the words to match the emotion.  I am still coming to terms as to what I think about the whole issue.   I did conclude that every case had to be treated separately. I had to be honest with myself and ask: What if it was me?   Getting a grasp on Wealth in America is not easy due to the vast amounts of money in play. In order to visualize the distribution of wealth, we first have to choose a familiar object to represent wealth, and present those objects in terms of volume. In this model I’m going to express wealth in terms of time, where $1 equals 1 second..  The life expectancies listed below are measures of wealth converted into seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, months and years . The lower two percentiles represent the 40% of Americans with the least wealth, only .3% share of the total 54Tr. That .3% is shared by the 128 Million (49,780,000 families) in the lowest 40% leaving each family with an average wealth of $3254  each 3254 seconds = 54 minutes .  Compare that to the times allotted to the wealthy and note the disparity!

 

 

 RANK              FAMILIES         % OF TOTAL           LIFE EXPECTANCY

Lowest   40%      49,780,000                 .3 %                      54   minutes           

Next       20%      24,800,000              4.0 %                    24 hrs.                                            

Next       20%      24,800,000           11.8 %                          3 days

Next       10%      12,400,000           12.0 %                     6 days  2 hrs

  90  %   OF THE POPULATION  (288,000,000) THEIR  SHARE OF  WEALTH  GONE IN   6   DAYS

Top 10 %   (90 TO 99%)

Bottom     5 %       6,200,000            10.8%                   10 days  21 hrs.

Next         4 %       4,960,000            25.1%               1 mo.   1 day    16hours

99 %    OF THE POPULATION   (316,000,000)     GONE  IN   ONE MONTH

Top 1 %  The One Percenters  broken into subgroups (note the no. of families  )

Bot. half   .5 %         620,000              3.8%               1 mo.   8 days    6 hrs.

Next         .25%        310,000             3.16%              2 mo.   3 days  22 hrs.

Next         .1%          124,000              5.5 %                  9 mo.   8 days

next          .1%          124,000           18.4 %              2 years  6 mo. 15 days

next          .047%          5,800             1.47%             4 years  4 mo.   4 days

Top 394    .003%            398              3.47%              149 years  3 mo. 22 days

Walmart Waltons               4            35 Billion ea.     1,109 years  10 mo. 6 days

Warren Buffet                    1            54 Billion            1,712 years  4 mo.   3 days

Bill Gates                           1            72 Billion            2,283 years  1 mo.   8 days

NOTE:  IT IS NOT MY INTENTION TO JUDGE THESE PEOPLE.  THEY CREATED THEIR FORTUNES IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PRINCIPLES INHERENT TO CAPITALISM. EVEN SO , IT IS HARD TO RECONCILE  IMMENSE DISPARITY THAT EXISTS BETWEEN THE POOREST 50 MILLION FAMILIES AND THE WEALTHIEST 400 FAMILIES  (54 MINUTES  >>>>   TWO THOUSAND + YEARS. )  I HAVE CONCLUDE THAT THE SYSTEM MAY HAVE SOME FAULTS AND TRICKLE DOWN ECONOMICS.......ARE WE REALLY SUPPOSE TO BELIEVE THAT'S THE BEST PLAN,   THAT IN THE PAST 30 YEARS , WITH ALL  OUR TECHNOLOGICAL ADVANCES AND CREATIVE INNOVATION,  NOBODY CAN COME UP WITH A BETTER ECONOMIC PLAN !

"I wouldn't be surprised if a "killer" pushed her under the bus, like they did with Isaac Kappy, pushing him off the bridge to make him look suicidal, when we know he wasn't suicidal, he just feared for his life."
