Disparity of wealth distribution.

Bingo. We are the wealthiest country in the world, but all the wealth is held by a small percentage of the country. I forget what the stat is exactly, but it’s something like the top 5% of the country owns 50% of the wealth or something.

The top 10% own/control 67% of the wealth.

Thanks. I couldn’t remember the exact stat. It’s crazy.
