(All calculated from the chart itself)
That seems like the top 1% are the bulk of the problem. If our richest had less than double what the poorest have, that would be a pretty good start.
I agree, there are a lot of people in that middle band who are not going to give up their 37% extra wealth, but I’m not sure this point is worth making. I’d rather get the lower half of that middle band to understand that they are not much better protected than those below them, than to tell the bottom band that they have nothing in common with half the country. Let’s draw a new chart with a top 10% or a top 20%, it will make this fight seem more possible.
