Words from 2014 etched in my brain

Today's murder of the United Healthcare CEO reminded me of this piece from 2014. It's never left my consciousness. Because I knew Nick was right.

"I see pitchforks.

"At the same time that people like you and me are thriving beyond the dreams of any plutocrats in history, the rest of the country—the 99.99 percent—is lagging far behind. The divide between the haves and have-nots is getting worse really, really fast. In 1980, the top 1 percent controlled about 8 percent of U.S. national income. The bottom 50 percent shared about 18 percent. Today the top 1 percent share about 20 percent; the bottom 50 percent, just 12 percent".
