and those people wouldn't exist without the bottom 90% to buy their shit.

I want a printing press for Christmas so I can make money also.

[DiggityMcD]

The majority of these types of problems are caused by usury (lending money at interest) and fiat money (money not backed up by tangible assets, etc paper)

I'm ok with this. My CEO has more wealth than the bottom 90% of where I work, but hes invested that wealth in our company, which is successful and pays all of our salaries. There are other CEOs that also invest their money and lose it, bringing them out of the top 1%. Making lots of money is a risky business for some.

If the government had the money that the top 1% had, guess what they'd do with it?

Pay off the debt? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! They'll use it to fucking blow up the middle east!

This is reality, this is how the world is build up. Less then 1% control huge about of wealth and power. They are the bourgeoisie ( French for; the owners of capital ) and run our world. Those capitalists are so rich, they can buy anything wile many workers must work 40 hours a week, for a salary between 20.000 and 50.000 dollars a year.

Capitalism is not fair, undemocratic and very bad for humanity. Imperialism is the highest state of capitalism, were nations fight for wealth and power.

@WuTangRevenge *slave trade

@jayocular This country was also founded on the trans-atlantic slavery, and an inexcusable genocide of native americans. This shit isn't hippie indoctrination, it's fact, something your quite obviously unfamiliar with, go suck Rush Limbaugh off and talk about The Wealth of Nations, if you've even read a book, we don't need your ignorance here.

[WuTangRevenge]

@jayocular Yes, because russia was definitely a communist country after the collapse of the Soviet Union over fifteen years ago, you fucking ignorant scum. Capitalism doesn't mean ogilarchy, and if you don't think it's fucked up that 1 in 8 Americans live in hunger, while the bougie motherfuckers on top lounge with enough money to burn their stove with, then your the indoctrinated one. And oh yeah, just because something is part of our history, doesn't make it the model of perfection.

[LegalizeMyPot]

it should be illegal to have to much money and if the rich snobs bitch about it we make em live on the streets just like so many other people do.

[Se7enBeatleofDoom]

@jayocular I was not talking about money i was talking at least getting the care they need. But according to the government taking care of wounded warriors that they sent to the front line is consider socialism. But we are the one paying there paycheck so i say if a congress men get his leg blown off we should deny him care. Because his check is from the American people so it is socialism in there own words.

[Se7enBeatleofDoom]

@jayocular They move to the US because 1% starts the wars and the drug trade . People attack sweatshops in china yet there government is not the ones who founds them it is American's and westerners who founds them to save a buck with human suffering. It was not for the OIl i doubt the US or the rest of the world would have gave a damn about Saddam invaded kuwait. And tell that to the workers Rockefeller Massacre not just his workers but there families as well.

[jayocular]
