Directly answering to your question, yes.
The income gap is a little far apart, but have you ever notice that
if it wasn't far enough, people would be richer than the government
?
Government hates that, and they want to be the richest, therefore
they use propaganda to control the country, like wise in other
"democratic" countries.
sometimes, its really not our fault, and we really shouldn't waste
our time thinking of this.
