I mean, 32% of the wealth is held by 1% of the people, and 70 percent is held by the top 10%. If we take that 10% away, the country is a lot poorer, the GDP is a lot lower, etc.
It's tricking ourselves to think we're this #1 super-wealthy nation. We're not (though we still are compared to many). There's a sub-nation inside us that is wealthy, but they do not work the same jobs, walk the same streets, eat the same food, or even go to the same places on the internet, as 90% of the rest of the country.
