There is a show on Netflix called Watch How To Get Rich where the host takes real people and they literally go through all their finances. I really like it, but I also can't comprehend sharing all my finances with the world either... which is kind of exactly what you're talking about... I'm not super open about my finances because I'm worried someone somewhere will use that against me somehow.

Um, I could not disagree more about your causes for the wealth gap crisis. Handouts don't widen the wealth gap, how could it? The wealth gap is some people having barely enough to survive and other people having way more money than anyone could ever spend. Giving people handouts to make rent and buy food so they don't die doesn't widen the wealth gap.

The wealth gap exists because there are way too many loopholes that wealthy people and corporations use to hide their money or avoid paying taxes. We've all increased our productivity significantly over the last couple of hundred years, which means we should all be making more money... or working less.

Instead shareholders and executives have taken all the profit from that increased productivity.

The way to solve the wealth gap is to share the wealth of that increased productivity with the workers that are producing more.

You don't need handouts if people are actually getting paid fairly for the revenue they are generating. Either companies choose to pay fair, or government regulations force them to pay fair or unions force companies to pay fair. Those are the solutions.
