Why are the rich so rich?

According to the head of the federal reserve, we have no idea why!
But Devilstower helps us out a little.

Hmmm, baffling. We've got flat rates of pay for most workers even though they're putting in more effort and productivity is up. We've got corporations being more stingy with salaries than any time in the past sixty years. And we have executive pay going up ten times while everyone else stays flat.

We just can't figure out what could possibly be causing that inequity, Mr. Bernanke. Could you put the clues together for us?

I find it amusing how stupid Bernanke thinks people are. Everyone who pays attention knows why the rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer. The system is broken and money is only flowing one way.
