"But many Americans, the 99 percent, don't understand how bad economic inequality really is.  A recent Harvard study found: The bottom 80 percent owns only 7 percent of the nation's wealth, and the top 1 percent hold more of the country's wealth -- 40 percent -- than 9 out of 10 people think the top 20 percent should have.  The top 10 percent of earners take home half the incom e of the country; in 2012, the top 1 percent earned more than a fifth of U.S. income -- the highest share since the government began collecting the data a century ago." - bcultral
