You earn more than 99% of people and you think you're fucked?

Yeah... And he explained. Also with student debt it actually makes a lot of sense. Many doctors have hundreds of thousands in debt. Some people need their high salaries.

People who are over 45 own most of the houses. Bought years ago for a fraction of the current price.

The 1% are proportionally more represented in bankruptcy court than the 10%.

If being in the top 1% is so hard, why not share a bit more of that wealth?

It's not "hard", it's just more complicated. And sharing the wealth is harder still. I say that based on observation; I doubt I'll ever be a 1%-er. Maybe a 10%-er, but probably not.
