This is one of the reasons that America has the highest level of inequality of any of the advanced countries –&nbsp;and its gap with the rest has been widening. In the “recovery” of 2009-2010, the top 1% of US income earners captured 93% of the income growth.
此乃美国不平等程度为发达国家之最的原因之一，且差距还在不断拉大。在2009—2010年的“复苏”中，收入最高的1%美国人获得了93%的收入增长量。其他不平等性指标——比如财富、健康和寿命预期——有过之而无不足。显而易见的趋势是收入和财富向顶层集中、中产阶级被掏空，而底层日益贫穷。
