Love me some top 0.1% propaganda to pin the lower classes against each other. The top 10% have more in common with the median individual than this article makes

Love me some top 0.1% propaganda to pin the lower classes against each other. The top 10% have more in common with the median individual than this article makes out. It’s the top 0.1% that are out of control and need to be reigned in.

- yepguy 5y agoYes, CNBC obviously seized on the number 10% to make it sound like a small number of people, but the top 10% of Americans includes over 25 million people. If we can't address inequality without inflaming envy then we're better off not addressing it at all. We'll just end up creating more tyranny in the pursuit of ending tyranny.
