Although the graphic is nothing special you don’t see this data very often. Change in overall wealth (not income). The rich suffered a smaller percentage decline than did the bottom 90% from 2007-2009.

From a poster series The World of 100 by Toby Ng looking at statistical information about the world. Found via Brainpickings
If you assume the world is made of 100 people then 6 people have 59% of the world’s net wealth. Unfortunately, I didn’t see any reference to the data source for this image but that sounds about right.

The brighter the color the higher the tax rate. Notice that the income plotted on the y-axis is a log scale.

Updated April 13, 2010: I don’t think my original labels were clear so I tried to fix it with new labels and I reorder the graphs.
This is a new infographic illustrating the marginal federal tax rate applied to different salaries. It shows the difference between the combined rate levied on an employee (Income + SSN + Medicare marginal tax rate) and the additional rate levied on the employer, i.e. the payroll tax (SSN + Medicare tax) I am using the same examples that I created in the previous six graphics looking at the average tax rate.
