Dystopian Government

The mark of a dystopian person is that he is extremely selfish; he cares nothing about others.

The mark of a dystopian society is the same.  People at the top care  next to nothing about the people at the bottom. What they do care is that the people at the bottom don’t cause them trouble; the people at the bottom are compensated, brainwashed and imprisoned as necessary to keep them controlled and an asset to their wealth rather than a liability.

The mark of a dystopian society would be a 1/x distribution of wealth where the class system is a continuous scale from the wealthy to the poor.  The plot of this wealth distribution would look be the following curve where the top one percent would have 30 percent of the wealth, the next twenty percent would have 50 percent of the wealth and the bottom 80 percent of the population would have 20 percent of the wealth.  If that sounds like America, you are right. 

If you know that the above graph represents the wealth distribution in America today, give yourself 100 points!

Actually, the poor are even more poor than the graph indicates.  The graph of wealth versus the population is even more draconian than 1/x.
