Are you saying it's not surprising, or just not surprising to you?
Evidence shows that most people don't know the actual wealth distribution in this country:
http://www.slate.com/id/2268872 http://www.slate.com/id/2268872
Looking at the Real vs. Imagined Welath Distribution, it's easy to see that people underestimate the top 20%, but what is striking to me is the the bottom 40% isn't even visible on the actual distribution because they make up about %0.3. Call me ignorant but that was a big surprise to me.
EDIT: Just wanted to make it clear that the slate link is only about wealth and not income.
