Sure, I'm not arguing against the graph or that it is relevant. Just a friendly (dystopian) reminder that the top 1% of income earners don't really rely on income. They make most of their money investing capital or company profits in ways where they can avoid paying income tax.

Yeah, it's just interesting to see income for once, the wealth disparity is often discussed.

I'm firmly in favour of a Robin Hood tax to make asset wealth pay its way
