This week marked the five-year anniversary of the collapse of Lehman
Brothers investment bank, which triggered the largest financial crisis
since the Great Depression, as well as the second anniversary of the
Occupy Wall Street movement. Last year the gap between the wealthiest
one percent of Americans and the rest of the country reached its widest
point since the Gilded Age of the 1920s, according to global economists.
The so called “One Percenters” earned 20 percent of American income
last year. RT’s Ameera David talks to Jacob Kornbluth, director of the
“Inequality for All” documentary, about the growing income gap in this
country.
