The richest 1% of US Americans earn nearly a quarter of the country's income and control an astonishing 40% of its wealth. Inequality in the US is more extreme than it's been in almost a century — and the gap between the super rich and the poor and middle class people has widened drastically over the last 30 years.

Tax cuts ....for rich people is just nuts.

The reality, however, is quite different.  It isn’t the Knights of Wealth, that 1 percent that owns 35 percent of the net worth and 43 percent of the financial wealth, that we need to worry about, but the next 19 percent as well… the Squires who hold 50 percent of the net worth and 50 percent of the financial wealth!  [Data provided by economist Edward N. Wolff at New York University as of 2007.]

The feckwits who are greedy lizards and dont care at all about our Pretty planet or it's people live in any continent. They are the ones we need to send off in a space ship far, far, away. I think people with 100 grand are not poor but certainly not in the one percentile we are addressing either. I think it is a matter of intent. Rich people doing good with their lives and cash are fine by me. I am not sure what is going to happen with our money system over the next few years, I am curious to see what happens, how it plays out.

As long as there is Third World no matter where we have a big problem. Imagine the input from these destitute countries if they werent busy starving to death and the like? Our White man world is so technological, which is fine but it would be mightily balanced out by other elements if Africa, India, South/Central American and wherever else wasnt dying on a daily basis rather than flourishing and thriving. The whole world has much to offer but one cannot offer up thier gifts and talents when they are not eating or getting proper water and basic needs met.

The lizards need to get out off the path, get out of the way and quit being lizardy hoarders of wealth that thye do no good with. People starve in First and Second worlds too, it is nuts. Needs to stop.

I love the idea of people doing what they love and growing in many ways because of it. I want a nice home and the ability to travel and the like, nothing wrong with that and I wish it for all my friends and all the good people of this Earth.

You know what? Love of money and worship of those who have created wealth for themselves (despite what "conservatives" tell you, they do only create wealth FOR THEMSELVES) will bankrupt the world, financially and, more importantly, morally. It's as plain as the nose upon your face.
