The 1%

Found here: Let Them Eat Privilege | Jacobin:

"If your household — or to be generous, the one you grew up in — makes an adjustable gross income of at least $343,000, you are, in fact, the one percent. Even if you smoke meth, went to boot camp, and are on your third marriage. Yes, even if most of your friends didn’t finish college and live kinda far from a Whole Foods.  

 Now, if you or the household you grew up in make an adjustable gross income of less than $340,000, you are, technically, the 99 percent. Even if you’ve never seen combat, hang out with college-completing dorks, and are too chicken shit to smoke crystal."

TNB here.... It doesn't trickle-down and 'entrepreneur' is a con from The 1% are parasites (at Salon)

Here’s another case of how words can mislead. Rentiers don’t call themselves rentiers, and not many capitalists call themselves capitalists, but many of each like to call themselves ‘entrepreneurs.’ Upbeat terms like ‘entrepreneur’ and ‘enterprise’ can be stretched to cover things that don’t deserve them.

One thing missing here is that one of the 1%-ers better investments is in politicians.
