MODERATORS
You'd be amazed at how little it takes to be in "the 1%". Going by total wealth (instead of income), the 1% is about 3.5 million dollars starting. That means your average small business owner likely qualifies as "the 1%". Again, not quite where you really want to be addressing your ire.
The real abuse comes from, like, "the 0.1%" (starting at about 17 million) or maybe even "the 0.01%" (starting at about 78 million). And that means you're going to be eating people who have multiple homes whose wealth comes primarily from exploitative investments, abusive tax loopholes and other such shitfuckery, not people who worked their entire lives to finally own the corner store they now run.
