- The economic top one percent of the population now owns over 70% of all financial assets, an all time record.
- Workers lost an average of 25 percent off their 401k. The wealth of the 400 richest Americans increased by $30 billion, bringing their total combined wealth to $1.57 trillion.

- 2009 was a record-breaking year for Wall Street bonuses, as firms issued $150 billion to their executives. 100% of these bonuses are a direct result of our tax dollars.
