      If we’re being entirely honest in our numbers here we’re going to sound like murderous psychopaths though 🤣

        70 million people.

        That’s what it will take to rid us of the top 1%.

        Of course, if we’re going after the global 1% then that will be anyone making over approximately $55k USD per year.

          It’s more like 7000 people really fucking everything up, the 1% just sounds better then the 0.00001%

          Those numbers sound wrong. I make that and barely scrape by, and that’s without stupid shit like a boat or a big truck or anything remotely like that.

            So that’s the thing… in the US even our poor are rich compared to the global poor.

            But you’re right, people in the US making $50k a year aren’t really the problem. The problem is the people who have the average income of the 1%. That’s people making almost $500k a year. Which is crazy to think that the income needed to join the global 1% is so much lower than the average income of the 1%.

            Yes that’s how many poor people there are in the world that you, with your modest wage, is still in the global 1%

            Let that sit with you a moment. Puts things into perspective. Now think of the billionaires that exist.

              You are not filthy rich if you depend on a salary. And that’s not FU money basically anywhere.
