Front:
Clean, high-impact navy and white pie chart on a sky blue tee illustrating the stark imbalance between the 400 richest Americans and the bottom 50%. “American Capitalism – Great, but IMPERFECT” frames the message: we can admire what works while acknowledging what urgently needs repair.

No back print. This tee features the graphic on the front only.

Important context:
The widely cited comparison — “the 400 richest Americans hold as much wealth as the bottom 50%” — was explicitly documented in 2011. Updated line-by-line “top 400” data isn’t regularly published anymore, but the modern numbers are even more extreme.

Today (2024–2025):

  • 905 U.S. billionaires hold ~$7.8 trillion

  • Bottom 50% of Americans hold ~$4.2 trillion
    (Source: U.S. Federal Reserve DFA; Institute for Policy Studies)

This means the wealth of the richest Americans still exceeds the bottom half of the country — likely by an even wider margin than in 2011. The graphic remains directionally, conceptually, mathematically, and morally true.

Great for economists, educators, students, reformers, and anyone who believes data should inform our national conversation.
