via [livejournal.com profile] jpmassar, an article that includes INFOGRAPHICS and everything about how misinformed most people are about the wealth distribution in the United States. (Wealth, not income.) Slate takes a look at it, too.

Here's the graphic, found on page 13 of the original paper (link goes to a pdf)

From the pdf: "Note: Because of their small percentage share of total wealth, both the “4th 20%” value (0.2%) and the “Bottom 20%” value (0.1%) are not visible in the “Actual” distribution."
