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%.

The divide is widening. The key is to be on the right side of this

divide.
