Where is the outrage over such wealth?

I am amazed that with the news that the 400 richest Americans have assets equal to the bottom 150 million there is not more news coverage concerning this.

I find it amazing that with workers and retirees taking more and more of a hit on their incomes that people seem to feel that this is OK and justified while not questioning why 400 individuals are able to accumulate wealth greater than that of most countries in the world. We are talking dollars in the trillions.

Where is the media and politicians? Each day, because of government policies, the rich are getting richer and richer as the vast majority of citizens are getting poorer and poorer.
