[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It doesn’t matter how they view things.  They are bad at math, and therefore incorrect.  Do you know the difference between a million dollars and a billion dollars?  It’s approximately a billion dollars.[/quote]

Actually, it's exactly 999 million.

Anyway, according to a study by UBS Global Wealth Management, there are almost 24.5 million millionaires in the United States, 29,506 in D.C. alone (collected value of $29.5 billion). But there are only 756 billionaires in the United States, and only 11 of them in D.C. (collected value of $11 billion). Hmm... that darn math.[/quote]

The math here is wrong, but you don't seem capable of realizing it.[/quote]

Then show us the correct math. I'm just using a baseline $1M and $1B to get the conversation started. The billionaires may very well have the greater net value once all the math is complete, but the number of millionaires exceeds the number of billionaires no matter how you try to spin those numbers. The point is, the rest of us who are neither view both groups with equal scorn and find it amusing that only one of those groups gets under your skin. I'd like to know how many of our elected officials fall in either category.[/quote]
