I wouldn't go quite so far to use that to describe my situation compared to some of my countrymen/women.
lol seriously? kinda surprised nobody else reacts against this comment...
Either you are underestimating "the affulence" of rest of the world living above the equator...or you don't even know there is an 'rest of the world above the equator, or blunt said, ignorance?
I assume you perceive the world only through your perspective, thus forgetting the grand view.
Cause really, there are about people 7,393,200,000 on this world, if the US is that 1% affluence, than 7,319,268,000 are not affluent..

You forget about your neighbour Canada.
Than there is Western-Europe.
South-Korea.
Japan.
Oceania.
Those are all far from affluent regions huh?
The only correct observation would be: by default, many that live under the equator perceive all who live above the equator as filthy rich.

I was a little irked over that 99% figure too, but I'm not that easily offended by such mistaken remarks and decided to just let it slide.
I don't want to see this thread turn into a political debate with the reference to Trump. If it does, the "chop" will be coming, so let's keep things civil and about motorcycles
