Comment on Maybe tax the greedy top 10%

This is the same chart, but with the 99-99.9% slice broken out too.

The view by share is more telling IMO:

The fact that 50% of our population has a single digit share of wealth is a travisty.

The only group growing share is the 1%. Their per capital numbers are eye-watering. The 90-99% do have about 4x the per capital wealth as the 50-90% group, but the top 1% are literally 10x that on a per capital basis. The top 0.1% are eye-watering wealthy compared to anyone else.
