A huge share of the nation's economic growth over the past 30 years has gone to the top 0.1%, who now make around $27 million per household. The average income for the bottom 90% of us? Around $31.000.

Give us detail, I think your math is a little fuzzy! Also If you work hard and success you will be in the top 10%, and not in the 50%plus that is on Govt assistance!

To truly make America great again, we need a strong, working middle class with steady jobs, a decent wage and fair health/retirement benefits.
The economy of the last half century and the huge profits of Wall Street were basically funded by the middle class and their retirement/pension funds that were invested in Wall Street.

In America, poor people are fat. Yes the money is at the top but this is the greatest country in human history for the poor. All people want the 1950 economy but that's unrealistic. We made a lot of money from WW2. We sold Nazi Germany a lot of military stuff. Most of the world was destroyed and we were the only shop to buy stuff. Ford actually got a medal from Hitler
