How do you even have a national conversation about something when people's beliefs are so far from the truth?

I wonder what that looks like for the UK?

I was wondering that as well. http://www.social-europe.eu/2012/01/lonely-but-content-the-uk-one-percent/ has some graphs that look like they might be useful, but I don't know where the information is sourced.

IIRC, the bottom half of the top 1% is still the working rich. You don't get to the really big bucks until you're at the top half percent.
