Description

President Donald Trump regularly promotes the soaring stock market as a
barometer of the economy's health. But the wealthiest 1 percent of
Americans own 50 percent of the value of stocks held by individual
households — and investors aren’t sharing the wealth. POLITICO's
Victoria Guida explains how this gap is fueling an increasingly lopsided
economic recovery.
