Sure, you can always find a subgroup you are not part of the 1% in, i'm not sure what your point is?

You can also use the average instead of the median, and get a much higher required income for the top 1% :)

The median household (ie entire family) income in the US is 70k. Even in california it's ~100k.

The point was clear - Tech is very wealthy, and believes they are just the random common person.
