But first, like I promised above...
I want to explain the secret reason why investors and the rich have become so much richer... while so many Americans have become trapped in a cycle of poverty...
The truth about America's wealth gap
The underlying economic problem in America today is that money no longer flows to everyone equally in the way that it used to.
That much is obvious, right? As our country has gotten richer than ever... the income disparity widens every year.
But most Americans don't understand why this is happening.
And here's the secret:
The real underlying cause of our wealth and income disparity in America is that wages are no longer connected to gains in productivity.
I know that sounds like economic doublespeak, but please stick with me...
When you understand this concept, you will be way ahead of 99% of the population, and it will also help you make a heck of a lot of money and avoid enormous losses.
So let me explain what it means. It's not complicated...
You see, back in the early part of the 20th century, economic gains were shared by both owners and workers.
Ford's assembly line
Ford—and his employees—got rich boosting productivity. A new book by Porter Stansberry explains why only corporate executives get rich today.
Think about Henry Ford.
He got rich making the automobile affordable with the assembly line—a huge increase in productivity. And these gains in productivity flowed directly to Ford's employees. Ford made headlines across the nation when he more than doubled his minimum pay, overnight, in 1914.
But that doesn't happen anymore. Real wages have declined for most Americans, despite huge gains in productivity over the last several decades.
Look at this chart based on research from the Economic Policy Institute, which shows this problem clearly...

Realist - Everybody in America is soft, and hates conflict. The cure for this, both in politics and social life, is the same -- hardihood. Give them raw truth.
