A graphic on the screen reads "What Americans Think The Distribution Is", next to a bar graph with approximately 55% as Top 20%, 20% as fourth 20%, 10% as middle 20%, 8% as second 20%, and 7% as bottom 20%.

00:00:33.940 --> 00:00:36.945
A graphic on the screen reads "Distribution 92% Choose as Ideal", next to a bar graph with approximately 30% as Top 20%, 20% as fourth 20%, 20% as middle 20%, 15% as second 20%, and 15% as bottom 20%.

00:01:06.740 --> 00:01:08.545
Graphic titled "Actual Distribution of Wealth in the U.S." depicts a bar graph with approximately 65% as Top 20%, 15% as fourth 20%, 5% as middle 20%, and then small slivers approximately less than 1% for the second and bottom 20%.

00:01:30.225 --> 00:01:33.200
In the actual distribution bar graph, the "Top 1%" is shown, which takes up approximately 35% of the 65% of the chart taken up by the Top 20%.

00:02:42.755 --> 00:02:44.115
A curve of bars made of money symbols curves gently upward to the right.

00:03:21.515 --> 00:03:23.470
A curve with lower values for "The Poor" and a steeper curve at the "Wealthy" end is shown.

00:03:52.988 --> 00:03:56.240
A much steeper curve, with no visible bar on the "Poor" side of the graph, with the "Wealthy" side of the graph sloping upward to much that the peak goes out of view it is so high.

00:06:10.553 --> 00:06:12.703
The three silhouettes of the previously discussed graphs are overlaid, with the reality having a much steeper slope on the wealthy end compared to the two other graphs.
