It hurts the definition of the words when you use ultra wealthy to refer to the top 50%...

You think 50% of people don't labor?

  • While about 50% to 60% of the adult U.S. population are active W-2 wage earners at any given time, the percentage that relies on labor exclusively (meaning they have zero capital income or assets to fall back on) sits right around 40% to 50% of working households.
