Is there any difference between the bottom of the 1% group and the top of the 99% group?

This guy has a skill set that is possessed by much less than 1% of the Canadian population and is probably being paid in the top 2% of incomes. If that's the level of inequity we are griping about (up to 2%), it's still pretty thin gruel on which to base a revolution.
