With a GDP per capita of just about 50k, that means each of those people earn no less than 10 shares of the nation's wealth...

That means 10 people have to be completely destitute to achieve that level of distribution...

Though GDP can always grow, the simple truth is that a nation has a fixed amount of production in any given year and this shit is a disgusting manifestation of the imbalances of its distribution.
