Forbes 400 Richest Americans List
"Forbes magazine released its list of the 400 richest Americans Wednesday, and (drum roll, please) the rich have gotten richer. As a group, the 400 saw their net worth rise by about 13 percent to some $1.7 trillion...The Forbes list is rolling out alongside recent news that about 1 in 6 Americans is in poverty, that median incomes fell in 2011, and that unemployment remains higher than 8 percent. It also comes as voters are weighing a presidential contest between a multimillionaire businessman and an incumbent whose economic plan includes raising taxes on the rich...".* The Young Turks host Cenk Uygur breaks it down on The Young Turks.

But then, you propose a flat low rate with no loopholes to exploit, and the Democrats flip a bitch.

Where do the rich get all that money? Off the backs of the blue collar worker. If the blue collar worker gets paid a fair wage they would pay more in taxes. At a higher tax rate than the billionaire. With less loopholes to get through. The rich get richer and the middle class gets poorer. Has nothing to do with who is presedent but more to do with greedy political parties. Trickle down ecomie my @as. The only thing that is trickling down is runny shit.

@jimbo469 My whole take on it is if your cash is unspendable... YOU DONT NEED MORE! These people have a complex, a huge hole that can never be filled with all the money in the world.
You and joe blow from down the street, DONT OWN 30% OF WALMART, or Pfizer, or Shell... These fuckers own them all. Its not reasonable.

Coincidentally the military industrial complex has also made enormous profits........off the backs of struggling US taxpayers..
Bogus wars in Iraq and Afghanistan may not have helped ordinary Americans but they sure have made insanely rich folks even richer.

Have you noticed that there are always a few LiveLeakers who fight really hard to stick up for the super wealthy, makes you wonder who these pricks are.

@werdum12 They always mention liberals too... They dont seem to want their human rights: class, gender and racial equality..
Its not hard to tell who follows the carrot on the stick, they eat that shit up like candy and hope they get a tiny sniff for themselves.

Not to sound like some shitbag but i would hope that the rich keep getting richer because if they were all losing money I'd think we'd be having a problem since its directly tied to business and investments. But the problem is middle class wages are totally stagnant and more and more companies are opting out of health insurance coverage which is a total shame. I dont know if cutting costs goes directly into their pockets since they've been billionaires for quite some time now or it just goes to More..

@The Grim Mega rich can also make money off a companies collapse, they can play with commodities, currencies, and stock shares to inflate or deflate what they have and dont have to an increase on the other end. The money will never go back to the worker. Since when do wages go up for the average man? Not since the Winnipeg general strike (look it up) when workers began a path to equality, but since the 80s the decline has been steady and will continue till something happens. Capitalism as a co More..

Who is this Young Turd guy? What channel is this garbage from? Why does this moron worry about blaming the "rich"? It's their fucking money, not yours, Mr. Young Turd!
Class warfare is working for the LibTurds. They can't run on their record.

Why complain about success?
The rich pay the greatest percentage of taxes as it is.
What this video does not address is wage disparity. Wage growth amongst mid to low income workers has lagged. The only thing that has been done by the Government to address that has been to make the tax code even more progressive, and make Gubment benefits more accessible. A bad track to be on.

@Megadeth We complain because of the 21 trillion dollars hidden in tax shelters.
We complain because the disparity between rich and poor continues to grow.
We complain because worker wages haven't risen since the 1960s, while CEO wages multiplied by dozens to hundreds.
We complain because the last country to see such disparity between rich and poor was France... right before the French Revolution.
Just a few reasons :p

As the gap between the rich and the poor widen a great unsettlement will arise. It has in the past many times and it will again.
I love my country but hate how the government has ruined it.
