Twisting numbers...

But this comparison of wealth doesn't show us quite what Mr. Goldberg thinks it does. If you've no debts and have $10 in your pocket you have more wealth than 25% of Americans. More than that 25% of Americans have collectively that is.

That a family who have inherited the majority of one of the leading global retailers have more wealth than the bottom 30% of Americans, when compared with how high up the tree a single ten dollar bill gets you, is pretty much worthy of a heartfelt "Meh".

Kinda like how they say the rich dont pay their fair share of taxes.Yet no one has been able to tell me how 10% of 5 million is less then 15% of 60 thousand.
