The Tree of Wealth

Ever wonder how a tree with a huge bloom of leaves stemming out from a few branches and a tiny trunk withstand the forces of nature? The answer is that it cant. One big huff and puff the tree will break at the trunk and left to rot!

And this is exactly what a sick economy feels like where you have major imbalance across the demographic in terms of wealth distribution. You have a few fellas on the top who are sitting on tons of money and a tiny bunch of fellas at the middle and everybody else is at the bottom who can barely scrape a living.

One big shock externally, the poor tree of wealth will come crumbling down. When that happens the plume of rich leaves will wither and die but the masses at the bottom may grow back in time depending on the kind of tree it is in the first place.
