As Chark said, it's a simplified, fanciful version so that's it's easier for people (children I imagine) to understand.
It's hard to argue with the fact that the top 5% of the population has 61.9% of the money while the bottom 60% has 4.2%. Of course while more and more of the wealth has shifted upwards over the last 50-60 years tax rates on that money have gone down. Add that to the increase in outsourcing by companies and you have a system where the upper class has more money, pays less in taxes, and invests less in this country. Hence our current state.
