Of course. If the facts don't agree with the original premise, declare the
statistics to be meaningless and arbitrary.

The fact is, 1% of Americans do not control 90% of the wealth unless you
are a rabid conspiracy theorist. Then you just assume everything is
controlled by the Illuminati or the Trilateral Commission or Bavarian
Bankers or Halliburton or what-have-you. Since no one can prove you wrong,
you must be right, eh?



Example: One CEO "controls" a $100 Billion corporation that has 100,000
shareholders.

See how easy that is? Of course, that would take just a smidge of brainpower
and one's "feelings" would get hurt.
