“Viral Video Shows U.S. Wealth Inequality”

By Deborah Dupre

“In only four days, a video on Mashable that began going viral Friday showing the extent of United States inequality, has over 486 thousand “Likes” and continues to climb on YouTube. The video also reflects why the United States has one of the highest worst human rights violation levels in the world. Charlie Rose writes for Mashable, “The issue of wealth inequality across the United States is well known, but this video shows you the extent of that imbalance in dramatic and graphic fashion.” The video also is demonstrates what drives both Republicans and Democrats to mobilize through the Occupy movement.

Equality is the basis of the “30 Articles of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights” in that all people are equal. This is emphasized in Articles 1 and 2:

Article 1. All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. They are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood.

Article 2. Everyone is entitled to all the rights and freedoms set forth in this Declaration, without distinction of any kind, such as race, colour, sex, language, religion, political or other opinion, national or social origin, property, birth or other status. Furthermore, no distinction shall be made on the basis of the political, jurisdictional or international status of the country or territory to which a person belongs, whether it be independent, trust, non-self-governing or under any other limitation of sovereignty.

The video, that began going viral on Friday and whose traffic continues to climb on YouTube, reflects the facts as seen from many different sources, according to Rose. “We present it without comment, letting you, our readers, be the judge,” Rose states.”
