I was called a 1%er by someone in my cycling club, with all seriousness, becuase I own a pro-level bike and he does not.
Funny...I dont remember gaming the system or screwing anyone over to buy the bike, a Specialized S-Works Tarmac. I saved a bit, sold my old frame and bought the new one.
But to this clown, I own something expensive and kind of exotic that he does not. So Im in the 1%, regardless of how I obtained this thing.
This entire movement is about NOTHING but envy. And the best part is...the President is the pied piper of the "cause."
