Wealth Inequality vs. Income Inequality

Your wealth matters way more than your income when it comes to inequality. Mark Zuckerberg

South, have generational wealth from centuries of property ownership, while Black families

were systematically excluded through slavery. This wealth gap keeps growing because

wealth creates more wealth. You can work the same job as someone else and make the

same income, but if they inherited a house and investments while you started from zero,

you're playing completely different games. That's why fixing income inequality alone won't solve
