    Yes, but people get paid income in wages, so it is still relevant. That some of them turn income into appreciating assets, or wealth, is a separate issue.

      Sure, I’m not arguing against the graph or that it is relevant. Just a friendly (dystopian) reminder that the top 1% of income earners don’t really rely on income. They make most of their money investing capital or company profits in ways where they can avoid paying income tax.
