   Sorry about that I'm off the phone now.

   I basically gave two charts. The first shows world wide poverty rates since the 1800s: https://cepr.shorthandstories.com/history-poverty/

   Then for wealth disparity itself (top 0.001% wealth) you go here:

   https://fgeerolf.com/data/wid/index.html#European_Union,_United_States

   Though you may need to copy the code and run it locally and change it to global to see the correlation first hand.

   You can even break it out by country and show just USA if you want.

   The correlation between percentage in poverty and wealth disparity is strong and shows a very suggestive connection where more people or wealth concentrated in fewer people results in fewer people in poverty. In other words you only have low poverty when you have more billionaires historically.

   Now your turn, show me your data that contradicts this.
