The notorious "1!%" In the U.S. gets richer faster than anything in the world - even against the global financial crisis.

Thus, in the U.S. in the 30th year, the share accounted for 20% of multimillionaires all income Americans, but in 1980 - only about 8%. And only then the so-called "1%" began to grow rich fast - and just in the Anglo-Saxon countries and India, the former British colony. In America the same top 1% by 2005 was earning 18% of all revenues of U.S. citizens. In France, Japan, Sweden, Germany and the Netherlands this increase in inequality was not observed.
