This a great video that tells it the way it is. Thanks very much for bringing it to our notice. Everyone should watch it.

It is not what is in the video, it is what is not in the video. First there are no solutions listed. Second there was no mention of how the wealth gap has widened under the great socialist dictator Mr. Barak Hussein Obama.

Wealth is not distributed, it is earned. I started working hard in school after my teacher explained that we needed to plan ahead. Poor planing and poor decisions equals poor people.
Wealth envy is a sign of liberals.

No matter how "ill gotten" or born into it one is right, gripey? The problem is that the rich 1% own and control government so that every piece of legislation is designed to protect their wealth and power at the expense of the average HARD working individual, from regulation to taxes.
So, your not a liberal. Great!

Not really. Those with wealth have no concern for those that don't - as long as the "less than wealthy" are available to cater to their needs.
Here's the reality: No one is envious of another's wealth ( not everyone anyway ). What causes resentment, is the wealthy manipulating the economy - for their own benefit. Manipulating our Government - for their own benefit. Here's the worst infraction; claiming that there are different rules for the wealthy - different criminal law application, different business law application ( if I steal from you, I go to jail, if I steal from 100's of 1000's - I pay a fine - and am not required to make restitution - nor do I go to jail ).
It isn't about downward wealth redistribution, it's about STOPPING the UPWARD distribution of America's treasure. It's about stopping the wealthy "stacking the deck" in their favor. There IS such as thing as - enough money.

Typical liberal bullshit! Just look at the references...they're all liberal left-wing web sites or blogs. MotherJones, ThinkProgress, CNN...come on!
Look at this 1%'ers they refer to...vast majority are liberals...Facebook, Google, Apple, Bill Gates, George Soros, Tom Steyer, etc, etc. They donate to liberal causes and candidates, like Obama, Hillary, Elizabeth Warren, etc...and, how much has the 1%'ers grown since Obama took office? And, how much has the middle class shrunk under Obama? And, then there is the old CEO pay envy, which is nothing but good old socialist envy.
What this video is advocating is to abolish capitalism and bring in socialism/communism. Anybody who buys into this crap is an idiot.

Here's a novel idea. Why not do away with All income tax except on incomes (including capital gains and dividends)over a billion dollars and tax 100% of incomes over a billion. Then tax corporate incomes at 50% and a 50% tariff on imported goods. Yes, prices would rise but only to the extent of what the markets would bear.
Think about that and let it sink in. If the rich and corporations want to control government for their benefit make them pay for it.
I can already envision the attacks of the resident ad hominemer, JMHO. LOL

i agree that the figures are a little off.... here in Massechusetts to be in the top 1% you must earn 423k per year. That really isnt that much if you think about it! iI am not quite in the 1% but as a small business owner in MA. i can tell you i pay plenty of taxes and would be a lot closer to the mark if i did not have those burdens....

=================================
People who don't know the meaning of simple words like "except" and "accept" think they should make as much money as those who have a good grasp on the English language and the meaning of words in that language.
