1. The statistic of wealth that stood out to me most was that the top 1% consist of 40-50% of the nations total wealth, which is greater than the bottom 90% combined. I felt slightly frustrated at the drastic difference in power and wealth. It is truly unfair and unfortunate that so many people have to work low-income jobs when there are others higher up who profit from it, and they do not.

2. The implications of living in such an inequality of wealth is that it’s much more difficult for the working class to live a comfortable life. The difference in wealth makes it hard to fill the gap for most people, especially if they are working under a capitalist. Which means they are trapped in a life where the money they earn for their labour is used to for labour power, which mainly benefits the capitalist.
