For myself, not for someone else.

Hint: I won't lose my job if I decide to cut back on selling my work, or to not even sell my work at all for months, years...

Actually, 5.3% of the U.S. population are millionaires. That includes everyone, even children.

The chance isn't 0.0001%, it's over 5%.

You're spewing more histrionically emotional falsehoods.

Do you have a developmental disability?
NO one ever said everyone on the list of psychopaths were part of the 1%.
I said the one percent is made up primarily of psychopaths.

Psychopaths are motivated by power and control. You do not necessarily need to have money to have power and control over people as is the case with police, civil servants, etc.
It is however, one way to have power and control, and in a corporate situation the people with the most power also happen to be the people who earn the highest wages.
Psychopaths make up about 5% of the population, which is about 15 million people.
Our government is full of them, as are the board rooms of corporations.
You will find them in churches using their positions to molest children.
You find them in the media where they lie to the people to forward the agenda of the elite.
You find them on car lots and in real estate offices.
They are the mortgage brokers who falsify financial records to put poor families in houses they know they will lose.
They rise to the top because they don't play by the rules. They lie, cheat, and steal; they take amusement in the failure and misery of others.
They, with full knowledge of what they were doing, created the housing bubble, and then profited from its collapse.
They have been continually getting richer while the working class struggles under the weight of high unemployment, stagnant wages, and high inflation.
The 1% represents the worst of mankind, they are not only psychopaths, they are the elite of psychopaths.

Do YOU have a mental disability? By your very same logic, the low-income are primarily made up of psychopaths...

Salespersons
Journalists
Clergy Persons
Chefs
Civil Servants

All make low incomes unless they are among the extremely few who are at the top of their field.
