Need some help with adding up the numbers

[Angela Shelley]

There are about 300 million people in the US.

It was recently said that 46 million people have no health care coverage.

It was recently said that 6% of the people earn more than $96k a year.

A large number of people are called RW, Neo-con, warmongers, corporate capitalists, etc.


How many of the 300 million people are in the "warmongering upper class"?

Are there 1000, tens of thousands, a couple of million?

1. You slept thru arithmetic and don't own a calculator?

[sandnsea]

2. There are 9 million millionaires

Why are we letting 3% of the population have all the power.

[Rex]

3. Why do we let 1% of the top 1% own half the assets on the planet?

We have no choice, we own a car - they own a fleet of cars. We own a gun, they own a mercenary army.

4. You are confusing several questions

The number of people who comprise the ruling elite ("warmongering upper class") is quite small. They are the ones who hire/select/fund those who carry out their propaganda and organizational operations. These agents, whether they know who they serve or not, make up a much larger, but still small, number.

Those who buy into the propaganda and are driven by fear or greed or ignorance to align themselves with the powers that be are a much larger number. Sometimes even approaching or exceeding a majority. So one might be RWer, a warmonger, a coward, an idiot, a tool or a fool or whatever without being actually a part of the ruling elite. This might help you understand where you sit.
