Omfg. 167k out of 300+ million
Gimme 250k for my hobby or I will keep poisoning you. Wow. You are part of the less than 1%. Your right to swing your arm is limited at the point it hits my face. You lose. Hope they ground you. Overweight? Gone. Sleep apnea? Gone. Say something stupid on the Web? Gone.

Your math is as bad as the rest of you. 167K aircraft != 167K people. HTH.

And I find it interesting the point you picked
You don't want to be part of the elite. Fine. How many people does it need to affect (effect?, f'it) until the base point of a small minority poisoning the majority is ok?

For a communist he's a pretty entitled SOB at times.

Only in theory!
In practice the top 3% do OK, the bottom 97% get subsistence. And the top, all party members, contributes next to nothing.

I don't think the amount contributed by the top is limited to communist societies. ;0)

No argument there. But, it's that communism is not a solution.

MMoffitt's Communisim explained . . .
. . . by a Polish Joke (actually from Poland).
A Polish peasant with a pig over his shoulders is entering the agricultural fairgrounds. He spots a Communist Party recruiting table.
Peasant: "Oh, I've heard there are a lot of advantages to being a member of the Party - it's a really good thing". Recruiter: "Yes, many advantages. Your social status is improved, you learn a lot, and all your needs are taken care of". Peasant: "That sounds really good, I'd like to join". Recruiter: There are some requirements to qualify as a party member, because under Communism all property is shared". Peasant: "Ok, that sounds good!". Recruiter: So, are you willing to donate your house, your property and your bank accounts to the Communist Party?". Peasant: "Well yes, I would, if being a member is so good". Recruiter: OK then, lets get started with the paperwork, then you sign it and we submit it to the party for acceptance". Peasant: "Great!" Recruiter: "Oh, one more thing, that pig on your shoulders, you will need to donate that pig to the Communist party". Peasant: "What? The pig? Ummm, ummmm, I don't know . . . The pig?". Recruiter: "What's holding you up about that pig? You've already agreed to donate your home, lands, bank accounts and other property to the Party. Why are you sticking at the pig?". Peasant: "Well . . . the pig I've got".
Back in the days when Americans were telling Polish Jokes, the Poles had two kinds of jokes: Communist Party jokes and Ukrainian jokes.
