What if there was a bill that raised the average income of lower class by 50%, but 0.1% class by 5%. Then using this chart design would still make it look like the bill was designed to help the rich

In that situation the lower class bars would actually be green. Plus what would the 0.1% need MORE income for

it came from wharton so i think i’ll trust that over some random on yikyak. it’s still representing how the bill will affect poorer households vs richer
