Actually, I have seen us ranked as low as 93rd and also at 74th, but still the same Gini coefficient of 45, which puts us behind Indonesia, China, Malawi, and other countries to which our jobs have been outsourced, as well as India. Europe does indeed rule the top of the chart.

This is the perfect time and opportunity to inform the public of the many crimes of the 1%. The information is out there on the web and in books that have been published in the last few years. As more and more people get informed (and angry), let’s hope they will demand Justice Dept and Congressional investigations AND PROSECUTIONS! Oct 17, 2011 Daily Show had Ellen Schultz on with her book just out on how the 1% stole the pension funds of millions of Americans to line their own pocket. This is just one of the many criminal outrages that have occurred over the last 30 years. It is time that these criminals and their political enablers go to jail.

We are now 63 on the list of countries concerning the gap between the rich and poor. India is further up the list than we are. As for catching Europe any time in human future? Nah, I doubt it
