> I imagine that people don't like to talk about them because of how powerful they are. And so all this talk about the 1% is actually a very useful smokescreen for the <0.01%.
No joke. Who's the actual 1%? In my personal experience of friends and family: My doctor, a VP of a big company you've never heard of, another doctor, a higher-up at a corporate law firm, a business consultant, a very senior engineer.
They don't run the world from the shadows. They don't hoard the world's wealth. They pay cash for almost everything, some drive nice cars, and they don't need to worry that their kid won't qualify for financial aid if they get into an ivy league college. Half the ones I know started life either middle class or in poverty.
Yeah, let's focus all our attention on them. I'm sure they have all the answers to fixing the world's inequality.
