The US wealth gap is due to corporations automating away middle class jobs, or sending them overseas, and then pocketing the rewards for doing so. Being handed free money only available to the wealthy simple accelerated the process.
Of course the usual suspects will lay blame anywhere other than at the feet of the rich folks they blindly serve out of sheer desperation to be among them. Blame the guy making $5 an hour picking lettuce. Blame the government. Just don't blame "us"...we are the real victims here...we "earned" our fortunes.
