Part of the problem is in referring to the top wealth holders as 'earners' .... they didn't earn anything, they merely held ownership over some financial mechanism and siphoned off wealth from others.

Earners are supposed to be those people who do actual labour or apply their skill to something and get paid for the work they do.

A better measure would to be to determine who much actual human labour was completed, how much skilled work was done and how much individual work by people was done and then tally up how much wealth they would have all collectively created with their activity.

Then figure out where all that wealth went to. Did all that wealth go to the people who generated all the activity ... or did it all go to owners and investors who just laid claim to all corporations, companies and businesses where all these people worked.
