I don’t think that makes the argument you think it does. Wealth concentration is even more extreme.

- gruez 3mo agoThe point is that his original claim is either incorrect, or is not supported by the source he cited.
- digitaltrees 3mo agoThat doesn’t logically follow. If the claim is 1% control 80%. And the counter argument is wealth is different than income the implication is that wealth inequality is 1) lower than income inequality and 2) more important for some unspecified reason. But if wealth inequality is more extreme then that means 1% control GREATER than 80% of wealth. So point 1 is false. And point 2 is most likely irrelevant because greater concentration likely means whatever harm from one category would track the other category
