The poorest 20 percent has MINUS 0.4 percent of total wealth.The richest 1/2 of 1 percent (.005) of Americans own about 25 percent of the entire population's net worth.Unless you are in that 1%, you are just along for the ride....." You are showing one side.......what about the percent of taxes paid by rich folks??Rich is not a good term.....what is rich?? Lots of folks think a drivers pay is "rich"I like a more "fair & balanced" comparison. </blockquote>
