What's a 10-percenter?

Upper 10% of US incomes, with the associated attitudes

Ah, I see. The only thing I could think of was actors' agents and
that didn't make nay sense.

weird sighting of the week a while back was a Maserati parked at the grocery store; it was a four-door with a child car seat in the back.

Yeah, Maserati makes sedans and even a crossover SUV as well as 2+2
coupes.

It's an Americanism that may not have made it that far North. Or
needed to. There are also 1-percenters, the really wealthy; the rest
of us laugh at "One Percent Problems".

I've seen the crossover too; it cracked me up. I wouldn't want to
drive one of those at high speeds; they're too far off the ground.

It's the 0.1%ers who are truly obscenely wealthy.

We occasionally talk about 1%ers in Canada but it's not a big deal as our income and wealth spreads are not as skewed as yours.

Our minimum wage here is $11.50 to $15 per hour depending on what
province or territory one resides in and of course health care is
universal and free, so our take home pay goes further.

The average income is $48,400 and the 1%ers make $477,700.

Our federal income tax is 33% of taxable income over $210,371 and
the NWT territorial tax is an additional 14% for a total of 47%.

So we don't have your highs or lows.

The Robb Report types. It's a magazine aimed at folks with waaaaay
too much money.

Lucky so and sos.

Our federal income tax is 33% of taxable income over $210,371 and
the NWT territorial tax is an additional 14% for a total of 47%.

So we don't have your highs or lows.

We have a few making wacky money and some who can't buy food.

I agree, ick! This looks better ...
