Who Owns What ?

Table 1: Distribution of net worth and financial wealth in the United States, 1983-2007

Personal Rant: I believe that all those who have been defrauded by corruption should be made whole. This would amount to the retrieval of trillions of dollars.

In the case of Bush, I would like him to work off his doubling of the national debt by washing dishes, it would take him over 1,000,000 years!

Now imagine if we just reversed roles on the top 1% and the bottom 80%? Everyone would overnight have a 250% increase in their assets.
