Cue comments like these that show just how out of touch people can be I guess.
These people are not meaningfully wealthy. They have no more power than the next 5% down the ladder. Even among the top 1%, 90% are not meaningfully wealthy in terms of the power they can exert.
The idea that some poor bozo with a mortgage on an $800k house is wealthy for any useful definition of the term is nonsense.
