More importantly, 2 of the 4 refences sited at the end of the video are "Mother Jones" and "Think Progress." Then there's cnn and a blog from a Dan Ariely.
This couldn't be skewed at all, could it?

Most definitely. But, I thought it raised a good topic for discussion. For me it brought up the Hillary question: "What difference does it make?"
Liberals seem to look at the idea of wealth as if it all is from one pot and if a person is successful it must mean that there is less money for someone else. But with instant multi billionaires like the twitter guy coming out of nowhere they can't define who ended up on the poor house because of him.
The next problem is that the original chart is not normalized for age. It's hardly surprising that the cohort under 25 is not wealthy. The problem is that that is almost a third of the total.
If I were asked to grade or critique this guy's work I would tell to go back and seriously analyze the ebb and flow of wealth. Unfortunately I doubt that anyone can find the real wealth (net asset value) of more than a handful of Americans.
