An extreme exaggeration that ignores the extraordinary wealth holdings of the US middle class, which is wealthier than their peers in Germany or Sweden. That is despite heavy middle class demographic change from Latin America immigration the past ~45 years, they're still wealthier than those elite nations. The 50% to 90% bracket in the US for example holds $31-$35 trillion in household wealth. The 90% to 99% bracket holds another $39-$44 trillion. So 50-99% holds $80+ trillion. The Forbes 400 is worth $3 trillion.
