Data Point: Amount of Assets to be Wealthy in the US?

by Skip

Interesting infographic and table, courtesy of Visual Capitalist.  We heared (or more correctly, heard a lot during the Occupy Wall Street movement – seems like eons ago) all about the vaunted (and hated) “1%”.  Democrat Socialist Bernie Sanders is still going after them – even as he is now one of them with an estimated net worth of around $4 million. So, some info on the Top 1% at a State level:

    Co-founder of GraniteGrok, my concern is around Individual Liberty and Freedom and how the Government is taking that away. As an evangelical Christian and Conservative with small "L" libertarian leanings, my fight is with Progressives forcing a collectivized, secular humanistic future upon us. As a TEA Party activist, citizen journalist, and pundit!, my goal is to use the New Media to advance the radical notions of America's Founders back into our culture.
