Here's something to think about

The population of the US is 293,027,571.

"Correctional Populations in the United States, 1996 Presents data on the growing number of persons in the United States under some form of correctional supervision for 1996: 3.2 million on probation, 510,400 in jail, 1,127,528 in prison, and 704,709 on parole." US DOJ

"..2,100,000 high net worth individuals in the United States at the end of 2001" (HNWIs are people with financial assets of at least US$1million, excluding real estate.)
Merrill Lynch press release

You can do the math and interpret this however you wish. (These numbers could easily be used for any side of the political spectrum)
