Answer:

Sociologist Dennis gilbert said that in 2014 the wealthiest 20% o the households received 50 % of the total income pie

Explanation.:

According to Sociologist Denis Gilbert only the 20% of the population has access to half the total income. This means that the rest of the population, in this case 80% has access to the other 50%. Considering how big this gap was in 2014 we could say that there is a very big inequality between classes and access to wealth.
