I don't think you read the stats right to be honest. The top 1% of producers aren't better than the other 99% combined.

And another point: I don't think all of Sam Walton's kids are even in the top 1% of producers even though they are at the very tip-top of wealth owners.

And the top 1% of owners don't have the same wealth as the other 99% in other countries, or even in this country in the past. It's not a normal thing at all.

Oh well if the top 1% are better than the rest of us, then what are we 99% "crap" people complaining about? /s

So you posit that the top 1% of wealthy americans are "better" than everyone else?

Actually, if you look at those lists, the top 1% are better inheritors than the remaining 99% (combined).
