<<<I've long complained that the attention given the top one percent is uncalled for and distorting. In any analysis, you throw out the top and bottom numbers. The one percent on either end represents freaks. >>>

In the movie "Glengarry Glenn Ross" the sales manager announced a new sales incentive plan. First prize is a Cadillac Eldorado. Second prize is a set of steak knives. Third prize, you are fired.

The top ten percent in this case is 30 million people. I know in a democracy we have to protect the minority, but at what point is too much? If one percent owning more than 50% is not enough, do we wait until it reaches 80% or 90%? Where is the tipping point?
