These are projections, and I think the point is that Berkshire Hathaway will benefit in 2018 to the tune of 50% of its 2017 profit -- don't know if true, but that is the assertion.
The pie chart represents the 'amount of tax benefit' that goes to those groups, NOT the percentage of population in those groups.
