So Russia is the second most equal country after the Netherlands, and Brazil more equal than Denmark? I'm not buying that data.

You're reading that the opposite way.

> A Gini coefficient of zero expresses perfect equality, where all values are the same (for example, where everyone has the same income). A Gini coefficient of one (or 100%) expresses maximal inequality among values

Was easy to spot, US and Russia are definitely not at the top when it comes to income equality as both are controlled by oligarchy

There are not enough oligarchs to make an impact.
