Total Wealth of Bottom 50% of U.S. households
1989: $317.8 billion
2026: $313 billion
Total Wealth of Top 0.00001% (20 households)
1989: $88.6 billion
2026: $4 trillion
This is insane!
We need a wealth tax on billionaires NOW!
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The claimed totals for bottom 50% U.S. household wealth ($317.8B in 1989, $313B in 2026) are incorrect; Federal Reserve data show ~$720B then and ~$4.28T in Q2 2026.

GT’s struggled against the run make sense considering their DL weighs a combined 0.09 lbs.
Will be difficult for them to have an impact against 220 lb RB Micah Ford.

Ken Paxton’s former top cop on why he’s voting for James Talarico:
I spent 2 hours with James Talarico. Number one, I saw no deception. He answered all my difficult questions. He didn’t dodge anything. He hit it head on.
I have been around politicians my entire life. I served 5 governors, I’ve met 4 presidents… And James Talarico is so different than other people I’ve encountered.
I think he’s the man who needs to go to Washington DC, and Ken Paxton needs to go home.
