The dot is misleading that bottom 40% probably owns nothing really due to debt.
You’ll own nothing and be happy.

False narrative, the problem is not wealth redistribution, the problem is tax cuts for the rich that defund government and public services

This is not a map and doesn’t even include Alaska and Hawaii. It’s a confusing pie chart.

Now I’m curious what this map would look like if it was actually just land and the degree it’d be different. The federal government owns huge amounts. Like the majority of Nevada and Alaska are just federal land. And there really are relatively few people that own vast amounts of land, a sizeable portion that own small plots of land, then even more people that own none.

Nobody owns you anything, you earn. I seen people from Same financial background became rich and some became even poor. If you are irresponsible in making decisions, it is on you. It is all what you value, i seen people who worked hard and succeed. Some waste early life in doing stupid stuff and recreational stuff and complaint about society and system. Reddit and social is filled with loosers, complain but waste a lot of time in stupid things and social media and useless things. Median income in US is 60k which is higher lot of countries even European countries too. Even people in the bottom 20% earn more than the median income lot of countries.

Let’s give the 1% the middle

But the bottom 90% is wealthier than ever, which helps put this into perspective.
Average wealth for the bottom 90 percent (inflation adjusted, 2022 dollars):
1960 – $140 k
1970 – $170 k
1980 – $180 k
1989 – $260 k
1999 – $340 k
2007 – $400 k
2016 – $370 k
2022 – $430 k
So wealth outside the top 10 percent has grown in real terms over time, just not nearly as fast as for the top 10 percent.
So we’re better off than ever, regardless of what some people try to say.
