- The richest 130,000 Americans and their immediate families now own as much wealth as the bottom 90 percent — 117 million — combined.
- The three richest Americans own as much as the entire bottom half of the population.
- The only other country with similarly high levels of wealth concentration is Russia.
- Unlike income or wealth, power is a zero-sum game. The more of it at the top, the less of it anywhere else
