Some of the heads of churches are multimillionaire too though, and dont have to pay taxes. Churches are part of the problem.

About 13M households in the US have negative net worth, so would I have more wealth than 13M US households put together? Without knowing how this figure is calculated, this seems like a meaningless metric. Though the wealth gap is definitely a problem by any metric, I don't think this metric is very helpful.
