Hi, I'm a Canadian supporter. I'm writing an article to my local newspaper in response to criticism to the Occupy movement. I'm looking for good sources on stats and information or links to pages with such info. One stat I'm specifically looking for is: what income is required in order to be in the top 1% worldwide (I know income isn't the best measure of inequality, but I need this one to make a specific point). Thank you in advance for any help. Thank you for all the work you're doing, OCWers. Peace and Love.
The non-partisan Tax Foundation does a great job of explaining these issues. Check out: http://www.taxfoundation.org/blog
Also see the non-partisan Center on Budget and Policy Priorities: http://www.cbpp.org/
Thank you!
