> The error people make all the time is assuming these groups are static and always have the same people in them over time.

I believe people actually involved in being active against top percentiles understand the difference between ongoing millions of annual income and one off inheritance. Have you got a some reason to think otherwise? I mean it was "occupy wall street", not "occupy people visiting retirement homes".

That’s my point - the tax data says that people making millions each year are incredibly rare. Most people earning that kind of income get it in a once in a lifetime.

Ok. And the criticism is not about them.

The criticism applies just as much to the bottom 0.1%. It’s not a static group.
