To me, getting into being in that 1% is not really the problem. The problem is the size of the gap between that 1% and everyone else and the growing influence of that 1% on the operation of what ought to be a democracy that looks after the majority's interests. Not everyone would want to choose a life that gets them into the 1%, but many people also do not want to live in a country where life and politics are ruled entirely by financial power without being balanced by social values.
