Dream Hoarders: How the American Upper Middle Class Is Leaving Everyone Else in the Dust, Why That Is a Problem, and What to Do About It

Since 1980, US lawmakers have redistributed income from the poor to the wealthy on a massive scale. For example Judge Judy makes $47 million a year ($900,000 per work day) She lives in New York with her husband, who used to sit on the New York Supreme Court. The first week of every month, she flies to California where they shoot those shows for however many hours a day for a week, then she flies back. She only works 12 weeks a year, or about 60 days.

A new article in The Atlantic, which apparently borrows heavily from a new book by Richard V. Reeves, claims that the real problem is not the rich, but the upper middle class, defined as the 9.9%, meaning those members of the top ten per cent in wealth who are not members of the top 0.1%. Matthew Stewart, the author of the Atlantic piece, argues that the 9.9% constitute a new American aristocracy.
