    Okay, the definition used for global 1% is so gross and unrealistic. People earning anything like that are definitely not “rich”. Being above extreme poverty is not “rich”. The only rich which matters are people money multimillion+ USD income per year through work or assets. Who do you think buys politicians and makes the law? It’s not the secretary in NYC earning $140K per year. Let’s be fucking for real, how do I take the rest of this article seriously if they’re this much their asshole?

    My advice to writers who want to “win” for their pet politics: make sense at least. Otherwise you’ll get mad that someone called you out, and then you’ll just say they’re being a liberal or conservative, then you’ll be wrong twice. Pass the critical thinking test.
