    It’s far, far less than 1%. It’s more like the 0.0001%.

    64 billionaires divided by 38 million people times 100 = 0.000168% of the population. I like where your head is at but 1 percenter is an old and inaccurate term.

      Well yeah, but it’s easier to say 1%. Then explaining it’s actually fewer we have to eat that’s just a bonus.

        Yeah but it’s wrong. The 1% don’t control all the companies and real estate, the billionaires do.
