If you earn $32,400/year, you are in the top 1%

That's according to this website:
http://www.globalrichlist.com/#na

Don't know how accurate it is. The concept behind it is to compare your income with everyone else in the world.
 
In terms of net worth, it says that you need about $770,000 in assets to be in the top 1%.
 
Note: This post should not be construed as an endorsement of the globalrichlist website or the believe.in charity that it promotes. It is just a calculator that I stumbled across following a discussion of wealth on a financial site.

Italicizing done by the primitive Joe, not by franksolich.

4. Thinly veiled attempt by that website to make us feel good about our crumbs.

The real story is the latest Oxfam report.

6. +1. Nice try, Repugs. Wealth distribution is coming.

Uh huh, and some of us are working to make sure the wealth re-distribution goes from the parasites to the producers.

5. Yeah and if you make that little in the US

You are more than likely one paycheck or one illness away from jumping to the bottom 1%.

7. Propaganda designed to get people to vote against their own best interests.

<<<determines own best interests, thank you.

We could all be living like kings real cheaply if it weren't for the unions and DUmmie demands for higher minimum wages.

Hey, that's the way I read it.

Now wait just a minute...you mean the DUmbasses don`t care a bit about those who live in squalor,filth and abject poverty in the world,a large proportion of those being dark skinned?

Racist bastards.

My thought, exactly, when bringing this over.

The primitives don't care that others are so desperately poor that even the poorest American is immeasurably better off than all these other people.

The primitives have proven time and time again that they only care about one thing Frank... themselves. They want their stuff, they want it now, and they want it for free so they can sit around and pontificate on how the rest of us should live.

They really are some losers. They think they deserve what someone else worked hard for. Bitter and petty losers that will always be bitter and petty losers because they have no gumption to go for the pursuit of happiness.  Lazy ass mofo's.
