In the US, the share of total income going to the richest individuals is now higher than it was at its previous peak, in 1928.

A recipe for violent social unrest, if you ask me. Rich folks in the US (and elsewhere) should _actively_ work to close that gap at this point. Like, I'm sure it's nice to have lots of money but it's probably not that relevant when your house gets later stormed by the proletariat or whatever?
