“According to Sanders, the richest 0.1 percent now earn more money than the bottom 50 percent of Americans, and the top 1 percent own more wealth than the bottom 90 percent. The wealthiest 400 people in our country saw their wealth increase by $670 billion while Bush has been president.”

Other suggestions about more regulations etc, are not the right way. Accountability is what must be increased and there’s one easy means for that. Those monopoly players have to be liable to a large extend with their private property. They must be aware that their money is at stake. And suddenlyl a lot of the excesses surely would vanish, suddendly the old fashioned way of getting richer would be “earn it”.
