Forum Post: Hi there, you are NOT the one percent!

If you want to come here and debate and disagree with us, beautiful

But please, do not come here and call yourself the one percent.

This is what the one percent looks like:

that pie chart comes from a website for INVESTORS not from any left-wing propaganda site, k?

It's attached to an interesting article, BTW

Some have come here and confused the one percent with the "99th percentile" or top 1% or earners, which is something like > 400K a year.

the "one percent" is not that either

It is what's reflected on that chart - the one percent of Americans who are controlling 42% of FINANCIAL WEALTH in this country.
