Poverty study links U S wealth to concentrated power
A U S Catholic Campaign for Human Development report argues most Americans cannot afford the average home and that wealth is highly concentrated. It cites IRS data showing the top 1.2 percent hold 32.5 times the assets of the bottom 60 percent and notes 1.6 percent of firms control 75 percent of manufacturing assets. It calls for land and tax reform, stricter anti trust laws, and income redistribution to reduce inequality.
