Because currently that one 1% have decided to take the country as their own
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.
