All I will say right now is to ask for statistics on the distribution of wealth throughout American history to
1) Compare to see how different eras had their wealth distributed and
2) See if there are any patterns moving towards equality or inequality, and how they correlate with perceptions of quality of life and politics throughout our history.
Until then, simply stating that "10% holds 70%" and building scenarios off of that is not worth discussing.
