I love how they talked about the massive wealth being "invisible." I've pointed this out before here on DU, that the difference between being in the 1% and being even very well off is so far up in the sky that they may as well be on the moon. I've had some people disagree with me, but even as they claimed to be in the 2%, they still can't see it.
I spent a day with a 1% family. It was like a different world. Everything and anything they could possibly want. Laws suspended for their visit. I felt like I was in a bubble the way we commonly describe them to be- nothing about that day felt "normal."
What amazes me most after coming down from that height was that they are so fiercely protective of that lifestyle. They don't want anyone else in their big club. They regularly ruin lives to keep it exclusive and out of reach.
The RW in our party tells us we should celebrate this, and that the Gods demand more tribute.
