- Obvious the bottom 60% of the population comprises of 60% of the population. This is 1.5 times bigger than the remaining 40%
- Even though 60% is greater than 40%, the Top 40% owns 36 times the wealth of the bottom 60%
- Even though that 40% own 36 times more wealth, the top 40% pays less than 8 times more taxes.
- Even though they pay proportionally less than the poorest 60%, increasing taxes on the top 40% is considered tax warfare by the Republicans
- Can you see the top 400 compared to the 180,000,000 of the bottom 60% on the population graph? Of course not. The top 400 is 45,000 times smaller than the bottom 60%, the bar for the top 400 is 0.00009 inches wide
- The 400 are 45,000 times smaller but have 4% more wealth. You read that right, that 0.00001% of Americans has more wealth than the bottom 60%
Who is getting the short end of the stick? Who is the class warfare against?
