[P2P-F] inequality numbers : 3000 people in US owning 1000 times more then 270 million people in the US combined ?

[Dante-Gabryell Monson]

how much "ownership" does that correspond to - in percentage of property ?
in percentage of stock market ownership ? in percentage of ownership of the
total world economy ? in money ? how is this money used ?

any other statistics you know revolving around this ?
regarding world population inequality between the top 0,001 percent, and 90
percent of the "least rich" population ?
what about "power" in terms of "decision making entities" ?
certain companies, or governments have huge powers, but who truly has an
influence on them ?
is the 0,001 richest percent who owns 1000 times more then the bottom 90
percent in control of these companies and governments ?

As to equal the "richness" of the "3000 richest american people",
it would require 270 000 000 000 ( 270 billion ) people as rich as one of
the ( so called ) richest populations on earth ?

How many times richer are the 3000 richest americans, compared to 3000 of
the richest non-americans ?

In addition to link below, some googling leads me to the following pdf , in
relation to "superclass" :

How can one talk of a "market" when a few people own 1000 times more
financial power then almost all the rest ?
Is it in their interest to keep or make people poor ?
Not to become richer, but to keep control ?

excerpt :

 In 1928, one year before the global economic collapse, the wealthiest .001%
of the U.S. population owned 892 times more than 90% of the nation’s
citizens. Today, the top .001% of the U.S. population owns 976 times more
than the entire bottom
90%<http://www.thenation.com/doc/20080630/extreme_inequality>
