As of 2017, this inequality had only become greater. In this graph, the population of 300-plus million Americans is reduced to a representative group of 100 people. So, each person in this image represents 1% of the population. This group of 100 people has been lined up according to their wealth, poorest people on the left, wealthiest on the right. These 100 people have been shaded based on which 20% quintile they fall into. Then, the total wealth of the United States, which was roughly $54 trillion in 2009, was distributed among our 100 Americans. The poorest Americans don't even register, they are down to pocket change, and the middle class is barely distinguishable from the poor. 1% of America has 40% of all the nation's wealth, the bottom 80% only has 12% between them.
