Thanks for the great charts, Bart. The epi.org site has a page with more detail on wealth distribution, segmenting the top 20% into four groups. In rough numbers, the top 1% own a third of all wealth, the next 4% and the next 15% own about a quarter each. The remaining 80% own about 17% in aggregate. You're most welcome on the charts. I was tempted to add the other and more detailed breakdowns from EPI on my chart but honestly & frankly, I thought the picture & trends were dark enough as it was. Sometimes the stuff gets to me too...
