Richest get richer, poor get screwed

Pew Research Center reported that between 2009 and 2011, the mean net worth (MNW) of the upper 7% of the wealthy went up an estimated 28%, while the MNW of the lower 93% dropped by 4%. So while you and I were still sinking in the mud of the recession, the upper crust increased their wealth by more than a quarter! What does this say about our capitalistic economic system? That the rich always come out on top?? Who built this pile of ship that it works this way? Oh, yeah: they did.
