> poor (less than 1m)

the top 10% globally is 30k... which is low income for Americans.

Americans bitching about the 1% is laughable.

Why is it laughable that Americans want a better world for others? Most Americans have no control over what their country's leaders do.

Ironically, America basically shows how the 1% can maintain control of the global hegemony for decades without any effective resistance. The fact that this system of oppression is fractally recursive adds to the irony.
