So you've changed the discussion of the ever widening gap between the rich and the middle class to say our poor are not as bad off as the poor in Africa?
Well you have good reason to change the subject I suppose:
"An analysis conducted by the Economic Policy Institute indicates that the richest one percent of U.S. Households had a net worth 225 times greater than the average American household in 2009. That’s up from 190 times greater, the previous record set in 2004."

and what would change this without causing massive problems
why are those on the bottom not competing effectively-maybe its the opiate of welfare socialism
the longer a system exists, the more those who can compete the most effectively will obtain
