I don't like the way you put it. The spouse of a teacher might make more money, ok, but he or she is not a "banker".


I was invoking stereotypes, but perhaps those were a bit unfair. After all, according to the data linked, only 13.3% of "financial services sales occupations" and 10.7% of "financial specialists" in investment companies belong to the 1%. I should have picked on physicians :P


Also, to defend myself, according to this article the top half of the 1% are in fact people in the banking and financial services industry: http://www2.ucsc.edu/whorulesamerica/power/investment_manage...
