(Reuters) - The net worth of the richest Americans grew by 13 percent in the past year to $1.7 trillion, Forbes magazine said on Wednesday, and a familiar cast of characters once again populated the top of the magazine's annual list of the U.S. uber-elite, including Bill Gates, Warren Buffett, Larry Ellison and the Koch brothers.

The average net worth of the 400 wealthiest Americans rose to a record $4.2 billion, the magazine said.

Collectively, this group's net worth is the equivalent of one-eighth of the entire U.S. economy, which stood at $13.56 trillion in real terms according to the latest government data.

But the 13 percent growth in the wealth of the richest Americans far outpaced that of the economy overall, helping widen the chasm between rich and poor.

The gap between the rich and poor grew more between 2009-2010 than it did between 2002-2007, but you shockingly left that fact out. Now you are telling us it has grown even further this year.

The numbers point to the gap growing larger between the rich and poor to be the result of Obama's policies, not Republican's. How inconvenient for you.

If it were not for straw men you've have no friends but your Sockpuppet.

I didn't "leave anything out", considering I didn't write the article - I merely posted a newspaper article referencing current conditions with no comment.

The redistribution of income, the languishing pay and purchasing power of the middle class, while productivity has soared while money has concentrated among the wealthy, has been occurring since the late 1960's. And yes, there has been plenty published on Derby Trail about how that has happened.

Your comment about Obama's policies is interesting - which specific policies have done that? Do tell.

Shocking that you would resort to insults when you attempt to mislead people reading here with a distortion of facts, just like you did with Clip earlier in the thread. As usual you resort to the sock puppet nonsense when you can't counter with facts. By the way, sock puppet is two words, not one genius. What next, are you going to infer I am a racist like you did with Clip?

You added your clear insinuation that a vote against Obama is a vote to increase the gap in income inequality, you didn't just post an article. You are a pathetic bully who is a fraud.
