Wait, ok, I genuinely don't understand your proposition here.
We should ignore the people with the most assets, and only pay attention to the people with the most assets?
- AnthonyMouse 7y ago"The people with the most assets" in aggregate are the upper middle class, lawyers and nurses and chemical engineers, not Bill Gates and Jeff Bezos.
- SolaceQuantum 7y agoBut Bill Gates and Jeff Bezos are part of the upper class. There's the whole "millionaires paid by billionares" type stuff.
- AnthonyMouse 7y agoWhat I'm saying is that the upper middle class (e.g. the top quartile excluding billionaires) has more money than the upper class (billionaires), because there are so many more people in it. Tens of millions rather than a couple thousand. But then they're regular people, doctors and engineers, one out of every four Americans.
