You do know that the working poor and a neurosurgeon are much, much closer in terms of money than a neurosurgeon and a billionaire, right? The neurosurgeon that I know is fabulously well-off, but his net worth is a rounding error compared to a the 0.01%.

    Define "fabulously well off" and explain why they deserve that and someone who works twice as many hours to feed twice as many people does not?

    You need "just" 30 million dollars to be in the global 0.01% BTW. Not a rounding error. Again, you've let the fact America has created a few actual supervillains get in the way of recognising where actual inequality begins.

    Thirty million is a rounding error for a billionaire. Anyway, good luck effecting change by making an enemy of everybody.
