For those in the top of earnings, it feels good to ignore wealth inequality. To imagine it's somehow 'ok' that a handful of people own over half the economy, is tragic. Consider: the bottom half of American wage-earners (those below $97,000(!)) have combined wealth of approximately 1% of the American total. So maybe we're talking about the wrong 1% - we can instead consider those sharing <1% of the 'American pie' who's income is hopelessly distant from anything that could dig them out of the bottom. I have to imagine, the parrot in the room is not me. I wonder why somebody "far left" can fool themselves this way.
