Non Sequitur. Your caption and usage tried to imply that the top 10% was a bunch of fat cats. That there was some sort of big break between them, and the other 90%. I made that point that the scale keeps pretty smooth and steady down to a lot larger segment than that top 10%, and that a much larger portion than 10% lives pretty darn well.
