FALSE! And I've already explained the distinction to you. Read the article you yourself cited. Here's what Wolff ACTUALLY said:
"the richest 10% of households controlled 84% of the total value of these stocks in 2016”
CONTROLLED, not owned.
Extremely poor journalism. Either ignorant or intentionally dishonest. Sadly, it dupes the easily fooled.
That would be you.
No, it means its owned. You're just talking gibberish again.
Here is NY Times:
Quote:
A whopping 84 percent of all stocks owned by Americans belong to the wealthiest 10 percent of households. And that includes everyone’s stakes in pension plans, 401(k)’s and individual retirement accounts, as well as trust funds, mutual funds and college savings programs like 529 plans.
New York University economist Edward Wolff conducted a careful study of stock ownership in 2013 and found that 81 percent of the stock market worth is concentrated in the top 10 percent of households by wealth.
I spoke with Wolff and he was kind enough to update the numbers. It's gotten worse: 84 percent of the stock in the United States is owned by the top 10 percent of households by net wealth.
Why would you think it would be correlated? There's absolutely no basis for assuming so. Monetary aid doesn't have the same net effect regardless of location or application. Do you even THINK before you post?
If you claim that it was so important, it would show up in the growth numbers. But it does not. The aid was a very small part of the economy to begin with and the countries that got the most, like Marshall aid poster boy Britain, was considered the sick man of Europe because of its sluggish growth.
But we're going way off topic here. Exports and imports were a TINY part of the US economy back then and Europe was far more prosperous than it had ever been by the mid-1950s. To talk about Europe being destroyed and America being a trade dependent economy back then is foolish.
Why don't like-minded consumers and workers punish them? Why do we have to turn into even more of a statist government to do so? Does nanny government have to hold your hand on everything?
Show some backbone! Get the movement going! Get those sympathetic to your cause to give up their iPhones and all their foreign-made electronics (including Macs or pcs). Get Google, Apple, etc., to stop hiring H-1Bs and only hire Americans. See if they'll actually do it.
Look at the Trumpster attacking government Trump! How cute. Are you against the Iran embargo as well? Let consumers punish US companies that trade with Iran? LOL.
Right to Work has caused this. Hard to argue with facts.
Why would germany or italy have 40% less pain and suffering? No possibly reason unless...our workers are being abused.
Gee, Mike, there was no economic growth in Europe after WWII
More gibberish from you, just like the silly "84% controlled nonsense" you just spouted and got schooled on.
There was TREMENDOUS economic growth in Europe after WW2 and the regions economy was back on its feet and richer than ever just 5 years after the war had ended. There was no "Europe was destroyed, no infrastructure in the 1960s nonsense" that you spout. And the economies that grew the strongest (and had the most to fear from a Soviet revolution) got just a fraction of the Marshall aid of sluggish countries like Britain.
America was not trade dependent and Europe was economically very strong in 1960. Just move on.
Read the link, Mike. Try to comprehend what you read.
Oh no, a link from "nanny government"? LOL
