P.S. I try to reflect the real world here but it is difficult as it is more fantasy than Gaia. In the real world the bottom 80% in the US (the vast majority) owned 12.8% of the wealth in 2009; The top 1% owned over 35%. Give these numbers some thought.
If your attention span will let you watch a six and a half minute video... you might learn something; scary somethings...
