re: Through personal accounts, mutual funds and corporate retirement packages something like 50% of US households own stocks, so unless you consider all 50% the "very wealthy", your statement is incorrect.

What percentage of stocks is owned by the wealthiest 10%?

I own stock. So does Warren Buffet.

Which one of us gets his entire income from stock sales and stock dividends? Warren Buffet gets by paying the 15% cap gains tax - the one Bush would like to be ZERO, while I pay a much higher personal income tax rate on my salary.

It doesn't seem fair to me. Even Warren, to his credit, thinks it's unfair.
