top twenty v bottom thirty
is really about the exacerbated merit polarization "within" the job class
drop the 1%ers
and reveal the guts of the broader unrefined merit castification process
viewed as any reduction in upward mobility
defined as
from the bottom 60 to the top 20
---- the second 20
(the limbo bo- bos
and the up/down transitioners)
are properly viewed as at the double margin players
best removed to create
a thick enough boundary/moat
between broadly defined success and failure ----
------------------------
--------------------------------------------
usual schema
of course it has variable percents of total
if you cut it into 5 pieces of equal numbers of households
roughly
24 million each
you miss all the fine structure
in that top twenty ...eh ?
so ...
a 6 level pyramid ?
a 7 level arrangement ?

paine's full schema
8 fold way
A) top ten thousandth --around 12k households--
B) top one thousandth --- around 120k households--
----------------------------------
C) top one % --- 1.2 million households --- (winners circle )
--------------------------------------------------------------------
D)top 5% ---- 6 million households --- (placed circle )---
E)top 20 --- includes also rans and yeomanry -- 24 million households ---
F)top 40 --- add protean chaos --- 48 million households
G) top 80 --- finally throw in the primary wage producer class --- 96 million households
H) total 100 ---- ah and at long last add in carefully the liberal's heart break houses ----
for the total 120 million households
-----------------------
of course we need to do this calculation for complete segregation
A = group one
B-A = group two
C-B ) = group three
etc etc to
H-G = group eight
groups one thru eight get separated out for intrinsic numbers
and we have our 8 fold way panel
now go forward from some start year labeling each household T i,j
ith household in jth position and time T +n
to year n
now look at each households string of yearly categories
and start determining the bracket mobility pattern
=========================
using wealth might need fewer layers
because the bottom 40% are at or below the net wealth water line
