I hate to point it out but the richest 10% includes most people in the west. Like if you’re reading this you’re probably in the richest 10%.
To be in the richest 10% of Americans you only have to be worth about $1.5 million. Which is most boomers and genxers with a house and a retirement.
The study was talking about income, this is from 2021 but shows the threshold to be top 10% in income globally is $37k, so maybe up to $45k now, so yeah probably most people reading this.
Correct. I found these numbers for global wealth: “[…] it takes around USD 1.1 million in net worth to land in the global top 1%, around USD 175,000 for the top 10%, and around USD 8,700 for the top 50%.” If you have about 9000 USD you are richer than half the planet. If you own even a moderate home, you’re in the top 10%.
I can confidently say I am not even in the top 50% richest americans.
Bold of you to assume most people don’t see that group as their enemy
As a Native American I resent being somebody’s enemy just because I happen to be born into a place where I my family was forced.
I mean that’s basically just Western Europe+the U.S+Canada+a few of the wealthier nations in Asia
It’s mostly just China and India.
China and India would be more than 10% of the world’s population, but they are not the 10% richest
Burn the rich, not dinosaurs.
I mean it’s nice we have another paper for this. I’m sure it’s no surprise to anyone though.
Need to kill more rich people and the security that defend them is what I take away from that.
