Joseph Stiglitz Of the 1%, by the 1%, for the 1%

{"While the top 1 percent have seen their incomes rise 18 percent over
the past decade, those in the middle have actually seen their incomes
fall. For men with only high-school degrees, the decline has been
precipitous -- 12 percent in the last quarter-century alone. All the growth
in recent decades -- and more -- has gone to those at the top."

"When you look at the sheer volume of wealth
controlled by the top 1 percent in this country, it's tempting to see
our growing inequality as a quintessentially American achievement -- we
started way behind the pack, but now we're doing inequality on a
world-class level."

"Virtually all U.S. senators, and most of the representatives in the
House, are members of the top 1 percent when they arrive, are kept in
office by money from the top 1 percent, and know that if they serve the
top 1 percent well they will be rewarded by the top 1 percent when they
leave office. By and large, the key executive-branch policymakers on
trade and economic policy also come from the top 1 percent. "}
