the facts part 5

the top .01% of our population earns an income of, on average,
$27, 342, 212.

the bottom 90% of our population earns an income of, on average,
$31, 244.

members of congress earn an income of, on average,
$912, 000.
they have a 50% chance of being a millionaire.

the wealth of america is obviously not split equally among everyone.
but is it fair that the top 20% (1/5) of the population owns
85% of the wealth, while 60% (4/5) owns only 15%?
