1%... pshh, big deal. Most Americans are in the 1% globally. Anyone earning 35k or more a year. Even nationally, that's 3 million 1%ers. You're not that special.
You raise a good point - 3 million 1%ers is enough so that you 99% will see most of us on a daily basis. The significant point is that wealth and income start to diverge sharply for us. The top 2% are millionaires but have only $1.6M. The top 1% have $3.3M.
Yes of course the top 2% can live in limited priveledge. Golf courses, world travel and nice 5 bedroom houses. The thing is, as Nastynate has noted, that lifestyle changes significantly when you achieve our level. I comment at IIN mostly to remind all of you plebeians that although you may be satisfied with your lives, that you do not drive the global economic machinery like we do.
I hope my arrogance is informative. Remember that if you live in a basement, you can improve your position in life significantly.
IIN a lot of white people don't realize they're trash?
