Does anyone know of good books that explain how the uber-wealthy benefit from ensuring low-income people stay low-income? I was trying to explain this to a friend re: why hospital executives are anti-union and actually benefit from their staff not having more financial options, etc. Thanks for any recommendations!
YOU GUYS. Remember the letter from the manager who wouldn't let their best employee go to her college graduation so she quit on the spot?

Let's look at some of the numbers regarding wealth re-distribution in the US and how things would look if we would confiscate the wealth of the super rich and give it to the normal person. The main numbers is that there are about 329.5 million Americans. Of those there are a little more than 20 million people that are millionaires (20.27 million people). Then we have 724 billionaires.
