Ok so I was going to read all of it but ran across the "poor people live in gigantic homes" myth.

There is no mathematical dictum that says 10% of people must be poor and 20% must be ultra-wealthy.

His point was simply that someone has to be in the top 10 and bottom 20. He also didn't say the poor live in gigantic homes.

"Forty-five percent of Americans with incomes below the poverty line today live in a house with three or more bedrooms."

Your use of hyperbole (gigantic

1) No, it doesn't hurt my argument. 2) There is no mathematic rule that says ANY percentage of people must be poor. @johngillmedia

Ok. I didn't say anyone "must be poor." You keep adding things that aren't there to try to prove a flawed point. I'm out.
