A simple but powerful video outlining the truths about the distribution of wealth in the United States. One can only wonder that if conditions are this bad in a “developed”, industrialized nation, how much worse could it be in other resource-poor settings with even larger poverty gaps.

Surely such skewed distributions will infiltrate and impact everyday life–especially for those at the tail-end of poverty, who lack resources for food, clothing and access to medicines. Clearly, this is a challenge faced by every nation in some form, regardless of GDP, and reaching that ‘ideal’ will prove to be an international dilemma that we must all tackle together.
