Your source link doesn't work and I'm extremely skeptical of whatever data is being used in that graph. A simple Google search will show numerous studies have shown an extreme increase in wealth inequality in the US has gotten much worse over time. Every other graph I can find reflects this reality.

So unless you can provide an actual source that can be scrutinized, I'd recommend everyone reading this to take it with a massive grain of salt.

    Fixed the link. I am not an expert on wealth inequality so I have to trust some who are. I trust this website because it was trusted by the 'good council for redistribution' in Austria. A council that redistributed the inheritance of an austrian millionaires heiress under the advice of experts. Calculating wealth distribution is hard though so I am not surprised you found different graphs. That is why even a 0% wealth tax would be good just so we could get a clear picture of where we stand.
