More interesting factoids from the charts...
The lowest quintile (in terms of income) is also the largest group with 23 million households.
The lowest quintile (23 million households) receives 4.3% share of all income received.
The highest 1% has 1.1 million households.
The 1.1 million households in the highest 1% receive 14.3% share of income.
Looks like the bottom quintile are subsidizing the top quintile with inadequately compensated labor.
