Because I've only seen the term used in reference to income,
personal wealth, or personal income tax paid. As in "the top 1%
made X in income but only paid Y% in taxes" or whatever. If you
allowed corporate assets into the game, then the 1% would probably
all be corporations. Which makes sense, because corporations are
groups of people working together to do what few of us could do
alone.<br>
<br>
I'm as against the overarching rights that have been granted to
corporations as you are.<br>
<br>
Oh, and there's no need to be so formal. Feel free to call me
"Paul".<br>
