The economy may be improving, but the rich are getting richer and the rest of us? Well…. Here’s an unnerving statistic: the gap in income is currently the largest that it has been since the early 1930s–yes, the Great Depression. Today, 1% of the people are getting 95% of the income.
This is having an effect on all of us, but especially the poor who are trying to climb up out of the well the recent bad economic years have put them into.
