socialismartnature: (Chart) U.S. Wealth Distribution: Perception vs. Reality The most interesting thing about this is that even with a completely underestimated perception of the actual wealth inequality in this country, most Americans still think the wealth should be redistributed more equally. If that’s not inchoate socialism, I don’t know what is. xkcd did a great chart visualizing weal distribution in our country. The median US after-tax household income is just shy of $40,000 per year; for the top 10% of earners, median household income tops $200k per year. Five times the median. Does that seem like it encourages a healthy economy?
