Someone page Andrew Gelman please. What they mean is that the 99th percentile American will be worse-off, but that is a very, very different claim than saying that "99% of Americans will be worse off". If you can't understand the difference, you shouldn't be writing finance articles. (Hint: One statistic looks at a fixed population, the other does not.)
