All of the politicians are very well off. Whether they are in the upper 1 percent or 5 percent doesn't matter to me. If people want to encourage support for Sanders, they need to learn to treat other Americans with respect rather than arguing they have a right to degrade and insult us with bigoted slurs, that our rights are less than their concerns. There are a number of people on this site with a good deal of money who spend their time railing about the 1 percent, when they are in the upper 10-5 percent themselves. What they have in common with the 1 percent is a complete disregard for my rights. So you tell me, why should it matter to me if they are 1 percent or 5 percent? It does not. They are all privileged, and in some cases (not Sanders) incredibly self-entitled. If people are treated as the help, as less, they are not likely to want to join in a shared cause.
