Referring to the right people in our day and age

I must remark here that I find that the discussion of the "1%" and "we are the 99%" to be asinine and uneducated and worthless to discuss social issues.  The fact is that although the numbers of persons who are among the owners of the commodity that you desire can be fractioned out, there is a higher way of realizing their place in our lives.   To call them a percentage is like offering a cookie to a wombat.  The wombat will take the cookie and it will never know who it came from, who baked it or what the ingredients are in that cookie. 
Facts are that one in a society are part of a tiered system of existence.
There is an upper tier and this is the way that one should address the "1%".
