Robert Lezner of Forbes writes:
"Income and wealth disparities become even more absurd if we look at
the top 0.1% of the nation’s earners– rather than the more common 1%.
The top 0.1%– about 315,000 individuals out of 315 million– are making
about half of all capital gains on the sale of shares or property after
1 year; and these capital gains make up 60% of the income made by the
Forbes 400."
