Substantiate please. Give me some links or statistics at least. Your claim is essentially that net-worth inequality is much worse than the income inequality. To me that is non-obvious and very likely wrong given that high net worth individuals are very rare and high income people somewhat common.

Robert Reich, professor of economics at UC Berkeley, put a course online this year with all of the stats you seek. Yes, wealth inequality makes income inequality seem like an easy to measure proxy yet ultimately misguided metric.
