The top 1% of earners in the U.S. pulled in 19.3% of total
household income in 2012, which is their biggest slice of
total income in more than 100 years, according to a an
analysis by economists at the University of California,
Berkeley and the Paris School of Economics at Oxford
University.

The richest Americans haven't claimed this large of a slice
of total wealth since 1927, when the group claimed 18.7%.
The analysis is based on data from Internal Revenue Service
data.

In a separate analysis, Saez found the top 1% of earnings
posted 86% real income growth between 1993 and 2000.
Meanwhile, the real income growth of the bottom 99% of
earnings rose 6.6%.

And, I also read that the top 1% carry something like 37% of the tax
burden.
