        @HolmesFrank @WSJ How cherry-picked? Per ThinkProgress: top 1% hold 48.2% of wealth. IOW: tax% matches wealth%. http://thinkprogress.org/economy/2014/10/15/3579867/global-wealth-inequality/ …

        @WSJ Important point in interpreting that tweet: "top 1% of earners" ≠ "top 1% wealthiest Americans".

        @WSJ considering they own over 50% of the wealth, I'd call that fair.

        @WSJ @PRideas. And if you confiscated all their wealth and divided it aqually among all, all would be in poverty.

        @WSJ @DrottM We may not have built it but we sure as heck paid for it! Obama, Warren, Hillary, etc are stupid, liars or both. I vote both.

        @WSJ And yet, they take home a larger percentage of the total income than they used to, and they pay lower tax rates than they used to.
