I agree with you that the scales are way out of wonk for exactly those reasons. But is there a better metric for this? It sounds like the calculation of the 1% isn't relative, though of course the gap between 32k and the top number is astonishing. I think you raise a good point, but I'm not sure how we should normalize our ideas of wealth in an equitable way internationally.
