Two percent of U.S. income recipients owned 50 percent of all stocks and 39 percent of all bonds.

 

Two percent of U.S. wealth holders own 54 percent of all net financial assets; more than half of families had no financial assets, or owe more than they own.

 

But who are the top 2%? JEWS!!

 

Jews comprise of 2% of the U.S. population, and American Jews make up 65% of Israel's population (they have dual nationality). Oh and by the way the almost wholly make up the largest single group among the wealthiest and most influential Americans.

1.) The percentage of Jewish households with income greater than $50,000 is double that of non-Jews.

2.) On the other hand, the percentage of Jewish households with income less than $20,000 is half that of non-Jews.

3.) "The Jewish advantage in economic status persists to the present day; it remains higher than that of white Protestants and Catholics, even among households of similar age, composition and location."

4.) Forty-five percent of the top 40 of the Forbes 400 richest Americans are Jewish.

5.) "One-third of American multimillionaires are tallied as Jewish."

6.) Twenty percent of professors at leading universities are Jewish.

7.) Forty percent of partners in the leading law firms in New York and Washington are Jewish!

8.) Thirty percent of American Nobel prize winners in science and   25   percent of all American Nobel winners are Jewish.

One could go on and on!
