Wow,I wonder if this clown ever thinks about the 1% of Americans who serve in our military, protecting this douche-bag`s way of life?

They are part of the 99.

99% of Americans (with a brain) are tired of funding the "douche-bag" O'Failure's "way of life".

Not true... I stopped "wondering" after his repeated racist-rants, and am now completely at peace in knowing he is an empty cup that shall never runnith over with knowledge -- it's very ZEN of me, don't you think?!!

Why change this forum now. There is rarely any real substance here anyway. Mostly just partisan bullshit.

If Gates was so disposed, then he would have had to inherit.

Status: offline 		it is too trivial a point to argue, but they are both terrible examples. the pynchon family has been among the leading american families since the late 16th century. tommy boy was born into the american aristocracy, bad teeth and all.

as for daddy gates, he founded the law firm of preston gates and ellis, a top 100 law and lobbying firm and one of the two most prominent firms in seattle. i don't have access to tax returns or the paperwork on bill gates' trust fund, but i'd be surprised if he was NOT born into the upper 1%.

they are both very weak examples of people who became successful despite not coming from privileged backgrounds.

Sports has many who have come from the 99%.

Henry Ford came from some humble beginnings.

Thomas Adams, who was considered the founder of chewing gum.

Sam Walton... again, humble beginnings. Dad was a farmer.

Who do the 1% have, on the other hand? Paris Hilton and Truman Capote. Bleah.
