I’m not sure this is actually that meaningful. I think we all know that poorer people hold less stocks. It’d be more telling to compare the top 1% with the top 10% or 25%

    Money is made up. People shouldn't have to rely on stocks or retirement to fund themselves during old age. Nobody should be reliant on capitalism or money to stay healthy, get food, or have housing.

  • Some of the most profitable stocks aren't even publicly traded. Obama's JOBS act changed the requirements that used to force companies to go public. Instead, these stocks are traded privately to people with over $5 million during their most profitable period. So people who already have money have access to the best opportunities to get more.
