Wealth Inequality in America

I thought graphic illustration of the distribution of wealth in America quite shocking. It makes me think of Czarist Russia, before the revolution. Is that where we are heading?
When the middle class are hardly better off than the poor, and the richest people are 300 times better off than the middle class, it becomes blatantly obvious that this situation cannot last. My only questions are:
1) How long will this situation last?
and
2) What is going to be the "last straw" that brings on the revolution?
