Moreover, income and wealth inequality is rising again: poorer households are at greater risk of unemployment, falling wages, or reductions in hours worked, all leading to lower labor income, whereas on Wall Street outrageous bonuses have returned with a vengeance. With the stock market rising while home prices are still falling, the wealthy are becoming richer, while the middle class and the poor – whose main wealth is a home rather than equities – are becoming poorer and being saddled with an unsustainable debt burden.
此外，收入和财富不平等也再度扩大：贫困家庭面临更大的风险，失业、工资下降、工时削减都会造成劳动收入缩水；而华尔街那骇人听闻的奖金不但卷土重来，而且变本加厉。股价涨了，楼价还在跌；富人变得更富，中产阶级和贫困者则变得更穷，而且还被债务压得喘不过气来，因为他们的主要财富是房子而不是股票。
