The top 1% owns 37% of the wealth.


1% of Americans own more wealth than the entire 90% of the rest of

Whens the last time a rich person did anything for you? Yeah me
neither.


So what you're saying is that you want some of the wealth without working for
it?


How about taking some of that wealth and repairing the pot holes out

I'd be more in favour of taking some of that wealth and establishing re-education
camps for you folks who can't quite figure things out.
