Vigdor Schreibman states: "Government
data shows that the top one percent of American families have "more 
wealth than the bottom 90 percent of the country" [Phillips, 1994]."

This is slightly different than Vigdor's previous claim, which I 
disputed.  In fact, the number of people holding this wealth exceeds 
9 million people, and although this does not make it equitable, it 
is definitely a change from the late 50s, when fewer than 4 million 
people owned even more...
