If you havent seen it at our Facebook page, I made this, and it is true!

Thank you all very very much!

Income inequality in America is at levels even higher than those in ancient Rome, according to a recent study from two historians, Walter Schiedel and Steven Friesen, cited by Per Square Mile. After analyzing papyri ledgers, biblical passages and other previous scholarly estimates, the researchers found that the top one percent of earners in Ancient Rome controlled 16 percent of the society's wealth. By comparison, the top one percent of American earners control 40 percent of the country's wealth, according to Vanity Fair... ...read the full article at HERE that article has pretty interesting and insightful comments too, ...and please no one cares if you hate or love the USA, this is a potential interesting topic about wealth distribution in pre-industrial societies, so stick to a civil discussion... cheers viggen
