How uncomfortable/comfortable are people with this sort of wealth inequality? Are current business practices working well enough in terms of wealth and income distribution?

No, but it would be an interesting comparison.

Apparently Australia's is only slightly better off, but I still think Australia's awesome!.

Patriotism may be a question for a different thread, but the question I guess I have is why? I mean, not saying you're wrong, and "because I live there" is a valid answer, but what would you specifically say made Australia more awesome than other places?

Is our wealth inequality much better?

Jubal

I believe it is better but not much better.

I don't think it's an accurate representation of the situation to lump the whole US together like they do in that vid. To see what it's really like you need to zoom all the way in to individual counties or less because I have a problem with being included with New York or them damn Californians.
