18:43Now PlayingOnce upon a time, the United States seriously taxed the nation's rich. America's richest faced a tax rate of up to 91 percent. That was well before the billionaire class came along. Today's billionaires have 1000x the wealth the gilded age families did. And here's the kicker: the uber wealthy aren't paying taxes on most of it. But under the Trump regime; America's working class is paying a higher tax rate than the grossly wealthy.
So why aren't more Americans furious and demanding change around this? According to Stanford neuroscientists, people place one million dollars about halfway between $1000 and a billion. In reality, a million is 1,000 times closer to a thousand than it is to a billion. In other words a billion is light years away from a million, and that's why so many people can't comprehend the vast wealth of people like Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, Peter Thiel and so on. Suri Crowe reports on the haves and have nots.
