A video posted to YouTube back in November 2012 is starting to go viral after Mashable posted it to its site on Saturday.

We all know there is a huge gap between the rich and the poor in the United States, but this video visually captivates viewers by showing just how much of the country's wealth lies in the hands of the top 20 percent.

It is important to remember that this distribution is not accidental. It is the direct cause of the rules of our economy. Rules that have been designed and passed by the economic royalists in our society. This is about money/wealth in politics being allowed to form rules that surprise surprise, favor the moneyed/ wealthy.
Until we restore one person one vote democracy this vast chasm in wealth will worsen until the economy once again collapses.

With the exception of a handful of people, they either ignore or enable it.
