I don't have the article you’re using, so I can’t fill the drops with certainty. Could you paste the passage or tell me the article title/author?

If you want likely answers (based on common stats used in such pieces):
- Americans make up about 4% of the world’s population, but about 15% of the world’s “top 1%.”
- This means that a majority of Americans are in the top 10% of all earners in the world, which is defined as those earning more than $34,000 a year.
- The author says this wealth is due to America’s commitment to free markets (capitalism)/free enterprise.

If you paste the exact excerpt I’ll fill the dropdowns precisely.
