The video is about the US, but the same is happening all over the world... only slower. This will need to be tackled.

I know the unequal distribution of wealth was a huge cause for the great depression. It seems very similar now. Can history repeat itself?

No no man,
Wait for the zombie apocalypse.
Eat the rich. (As a zombie, or a cannibal, whatevz. They're unlikely to have cultivated survival skills in such a scenario so they'll be sacks of meat anyway.)
Unless they're like ultra-rich and built a self sustainable zombie/nuclear defense bunker, in which case... Money well invested.

Well theoretically if you can kill off the richest and all their relatives and anyone who could make a claim for the estate, then that money goes the government in a nice big lump sum and solves everything. I think it's probably best to analyse the richness to relatives ratio to see who the most efficient person to kill is.
Of course might just be easier to plant some fake evidence that they are terrorists and seize it all instead.

Poor bastards trying to look at successful people? World is filled with idiots and averages whats the issue with the bright people succeeding where everyone else fails? And now those failures are trying to whine at the government to make them richer and make rich folks poorer... if they miraculously manage to succeed the bright elite will just leave or find another way

Another cherry picked statistic. The upper 60% is "everybody who has a job. And "the 20%" contain good payed workers as well as almost anybody with some kind of college degree*.
*except the disciplines "professor or mcdonalds" (philosophy, sociology...)

Really? I thought it was a string of bank failures triggered by a stock market crash coupled with a massive drought. I guess my history class must have been taught by an evil republican neocon.
