I have checked that and I can tell you I am not a member of the 1%!

"Fairly Wealthy" is in the top 10%, rich is in the top 1%!

Maybe in the UK. If you look at the world (as you are so keen to do with your "World Government") you are in the 1%.

I am still not in the 1%, even by world standards!

It only takes $34,000 a year, after taxes, to be among the richest 1% in the world. That's for each person living under the same roof, including children. (So a family of four, for example, needs to make $136,000.)

Yes, but I am not rich!

To put it this way, "We are the 99%" is a slogan, but let me make this clear, I am not a member of the 1% club!

Compared to them you are rich. Is it your fault they are in poverty? You're in the 1% after all so it must be. Shame on you Alan.

You do realise that you are missing the bigger picture, That REAL rich people who earn millions (or billions) each year are causing a lot of problems in the world and they are being helped by a failed system!!!

So now you have realised you're part of the 1%, its not the 1%'s fault anymore?
