I think you’re math’s a bit off brother. You saw a ‘40’ and thought you could just throw it in a fraction willy nilly. Math doesn’t work that way.
US population is Approximately 314,000,000
40% of that is 125,600,000 (that’s a lot of people to fit into that red dot)
1/40 of that is 3,140,000 (but why 1/40, ?)
3,140,000 is, like, 10,000 x Pi!
That’s a lot of Pi, even for Americans

I’m assuming whoever read this was American.
I realize, gleefully, that not all who read this thread live in America.
I further rationalized that any member of ILovePhilosophy Forums who is reading this post is in the lowest 40% of the gross income earners in America.
Again, I realize that this is not necessarily true.

You also seem to be assuming that the United States has 100 people in it.
Anyway, land isn’t a very good analogy for money.

I see what you are saying…so a 1/40th share of 350,000,000.
…so… 1/8,750,000 ownership of the tiny red dot.
Wow…that is REALLY small.

It’s probably still way bigger than my apartment. So who cares?
My apartment is 606sq ft.

I sent links of the new rule to two differant threads of yours last month.

Warned.
You’re still not getting it. 1/40 is not a relevant fraction. At all.
Here’s what the math would look like:
Peter Pan started with total number of people in US, I’ll take his word for it, 314,000,000
40% of that is 125,600,000
You own 1/125,600,000 of that dot.

Think I got it now:[/size]

Then when you consider that America is about $17,000,000,000,000 in debt - that we recognize…um, that means, in my portion I’m about $55,000.00 to the red.
Now I realize why they used a red dot in the original image.[/size]
