1% economic question

Greenie-weenie is too stupid to know he is part of the global 1%.

Anyone who earns more than $34,000 a year is a member of the world's top 1%, according to World Bank economist Branko Milanovic. Even if you only make $12,000 a year, you are still in the top 10% globally. Nearly ½ of the world's population subsists on less than $2 a day.

Yes, and that too! Most of us on this board are in the world's 1%. Anybody here that bemoans the unequal distribution of wealth while spending their disposable wealth on frivolous recreational activities such as engaging hookers instead of charitably donating that "disposable wealth" to those they think need government welfare -- paid for by the 1% -- is a hypocrite!

If the wealthiest 1% only existed and the other 99% did not, how rich would the 1% be?

In other words, if a only small number of people lived on earth, where would all their money cone from?

If today 99% of the world population dissappeared. What good would the wealth of the 1 % remaining be worth? Originally Posted by grean

BUT then again, if we got rid of the BOTTOM 50% of the population who pay nothing in taxes, what impact would THAT Have?

If we were smart...we would discourage generational wealth.

We should not encourage all to end up at the finish line together but we should encourage all to start as close a possible.
