      These statistics look somewhat less dramatic when you realize that a significant percentage of the population has no wealth at all, because they are in net debt.

      In the United States, that figure is 11%. In other words, if you have a single dollar in net worth, you have more wealth than the bottom 11% of the population *combined.* Do you feel rich now?

      Confusing wording, should have percentage after 50, 10 etc or represent it differently in the entirety

      Fun fact! You can take the entirety of the federal debt out of the wealth gained by the top 10% during the period from 1989 to 2019 and they still would have increased their wealth more than the bottom 90% during that thirty year period combined.

      I had a class today in which I warned my (data science) students never to submit a pie chart in assessed work. If you google, you’ll learn about some of the many cognitive reasons for this.

      I never understood the opposition to social programs in the US. The poor are poor because they spend their money; the rich are rich because they hoard their money. Kind of the opposite of trickle-down economics but everyone gets a taste.

      The problem with this view is that it doesn’t account for the ‘wealth’ after transfer programs are in place. SS/Mediaid change this drastically.
