[quote=Anonymous]I think wealth inequality has always existed - it’s just now so apparent due to the Internet. Now you can literally get a look at how the very wealthy live - see inside their homes through Zillow, view inside their country clubs and vacation locations online and see how much they pay for all of it. Years ago if you wanted to see a designer purse you had to drive to a store that stocked them in a city or town that had that store and talk to a human to view whatever they had in stock. Now, you can view hundreds online Giving the impression that it is all more within reach - but really, many of these things have always only been affordable to the truly wealthy, we just more aware of the differences.

There have always been a small percentage of really rich people. I think that percentage is seen as bigger than it is due to media coverage.

I also think the top 20% have a skewed view of their own situation. To a greater population than most in affluent regions realize, you are considered well-off if you are college educated. [/quote]
