It is interesting that everyone thinks that 1% is billionaires but any house hold that makes above $506,000 is top 1%.
- are billionaires?Tausk
- i think you were right the first time?identity
- Maybe?Tausk
- 500K buys a lot of groceries, cars, fancy vacations. Even health care!boobs
- your actual net take is $310k.Tausk
- income per year and wealth from before (f ex inherited) are not the samedrgs
- they say 1% only because it's simpler than saying .01%, which is more accuratemonospaced

^ Math lesson
99 < 99.99
99.99 is better than 99
- bigger, not betterTausk
- fuck i need a lesson in english.Tausk
- 99,9% OF "the 99%" according to site. You do need english lessons.ORAZAL
- where does it say its calculating 99% base? its calculating the whole.Tausk
- you can never be at 100% because that is not a range you can be in. 100/100 vs 99.99/100Tausk
- if you are at 99.99 you are the 0.01 from the population.Tausk
- If you say you are at 100% you are saying you are at 0. And you can't be 0Tausk

It's based on the last census (2007?) but multiple sources online come up with the $181,000 figure:
- 237,000 people in Canada makes $181k and above? Wow.Tausk
- rich placepopfodders

What's the point of all this exactly? People make more money than others?
- Top 1% are not exactly the billionaires that everyone thinks.Tausk
- I think everyone knows that billionaires dont make up a full 1% of the entire US population.CygnusZero4
- I dont think household making $500k controls the world.Tausk
- I dont think so. Many people believe that they are not the 1%.Tausk
- you're right Tauskpopfodders
- holy shit, Tausk, you're focused on the 1% as if it were THE literal percentage, and that's idioticmonospaced
