The top 1% also have 39 percent of the wealth and rising. The "and rising" means it's pretty clear that the taxes are not enough (and/or wages need to be wildly adjusted), if you believe that we currently have too much wealth inequality.

Arguably, that itself can be a sign that income inequality is far too high, as 50% of the population doesn't earn enough to pay meaningful amounts of federal tax.
