<<Anyway, most of these (top 1%) are probably elderly people, and you are counting their paid off their homes, and retirement accounts.>>

Yep that Fortune 400, nothing but retired grannies who've lived long and paid off their houses.

The top 1% own almost 40% of the nation's privately held wealth. Believe me, that's not the elderly. And they pay less than 1% of the freight when it comes to supporting our government.
