"When I was poor and complained about inequality, they said I was bitter. Now I'm rich and complain about inequality and they say I'm a hypocrite. I'm starting to think they just don't want to talk about inequality." - Russell Brand
Yet it's still valid to say that almost everyone reading the article, or 95% of people, will never be rich (having the wealth of the top 5%). You can be a rich elite and still realize that your position is not an "everyman" position that can be attained by merit alone.
