Lloyd Blankfein, CEO of Goldman Sachs, warned recently on “CBS This Morning” that income inequality is “destablilizing” the nation and is “responsible for the divisions in the country.” He went on to say that “too much of the GDP over the last generation has gone to too few of the people.” JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon, thinks wealth inequality is a problem
“I think it’s a huge problem,” Dimon said. “I think the wealthy have been getting wealthier too much in many ways, so middle class incomes have been kind of flat for maybe 15 years or so, and that’s not particularly good in America.”
The growing wealth gap separating the rich from the rest of the U.S. is an issue that needs to be resolved, J.P. Morgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon said in a “60 Minutes” interview that aired Sunday night on CBS.
“I think it’s a huge problem,” Dimon said. “I think the wealthy have been getting wealthier too much in many ways, so middle class incomes have been kind of flat for maybe 15 years or so, and that’s not particularly good in America.”
upper class and lower class
美国的大富人跟中产阶级穷人不交集,但一旦交集了也不是那么高高在上,大富人都是低调的多,不像有的穷人还装富,炫富,让人耻笑。
咸菜心了。
要等父母死后才有。
俺说的是即便是自己白手起家获得的,要想在一个单位平静的无波无兰的干下去也是不能让公司和朋友知道的。
员工拼命干也没几个分红,而且还一直不断的把工作移到印度。他和jp Morgan 高层的bonus就是这么挤出来的。他的确最清楚这个问题。哈哈
要想有平静的生活、少点波澜、不说不提不讲低调是关键。
俺一傻亲戚(大学考不取来美后干给人通沟渠,数学乘法以上就吃力了)来美最近娶了公司一普通女孩,女孩长得不错就是年龄不小了(30+),娶了后才知道女孩父亲是LA n橦大型公寓的资本家
,傻人有傻富
更深刻的融入到社会里。。。
可能坛子里很多接着CS的东风和股市增值,比普通老美中产的应对风险的cushion高一点。
long-term-capital-gain的税收是0-15%,工资收入和short-term的税收是0-37%。工资还有Social Security Tax,capital gain和dividend没有。。。所以,税收政策是倾向富人的。靠打工变富不容易,只有投资,而投资需要资产。。。

另外,中产的定义很多的。可以取中间的50%,也可以是median income的2/3到两倍。。。所以,没有定义好,争论毫五意义。
所以重要的事情是保持健康。这比富贵重要。
样的社会是不会产生厚实的中产阶级的.
