The trouble with the above is that the elites only number in a few hundreds of thousands, whereas everyone else numbers in the hundreds of millions. Numbers count more in the end than the wealth of the few. Hahahaha. that was actually pretty funny. Good one |

Good one I recall reading a WSJ article (I think it was the WSJ) in which they reported that something like 17% of Americans thought they were in the top 1% or top 5% (can't recall which). -- "I wear the cheese, it does not wear me." |

Of the world population they probably are. That ratio may be even more skewed. The CIA Factbook inline contains information along these lines. There is some fascinating information there about the comparative performances of various economies.
