In the us it takes a taxable annual income somewhere over $343,000 to be in the 1%. You are off by a factor of 10.

Anyway, the 1% is really the 0.01% who have undue sway in elections due to their overwhelming disposable income and ability to basically pay for a whole campaign. 1% just works better for slogan purposes.

The article I cited states that it was wealthiest 1% in the WORLD. Whether the Occupy hippies use American or worldwide 1%, it's still a comfortable income.
