However since the bottom edge of the top 0.1% one can almost feel the pain of the top bankers who will be limited to a mere $500,000. Here is my blog comment on the above graph. http://feldsparia.blogspot.com/2009/02/bottom-of-top-1-of-us-households-not.html I didn’t realize that bottom edge of the top 1% was $126,000.

The lower figure on the minimum income for the topmost income bracket is missing a 0. It should be 8,579,000, yes?

I think it should be reversed left-to-right, and the average income put in the middle of the bar (only really relevant for the highest two segments). The bar could use its width to denote "number of households"; then the area of the bar could be a comparative measure of the total income of that group. I've been reading Tufte, so these things jump out at me now =) Neat graph.
