The 99% refers to the distribution of the wealth in America where 1% control 99% of the wealth - thus 99% of the population is disenfranchised. I guess this retard did not major in economics........
So that means, wether you have a job, or not. debt or not, you are in the 99%!
The monied right (as war tagged them) put out this lie since Reagan that all we had to do was deregulate and cut govt and the income levels of everyone would rise up. 30 years later, we find the living standards of all but the top 1% shrunk and the promises they made failed to materialize and trickle down was a scam.
When people realize their "gods" are false they tend to bring down the temples that housed the false idols.
That is what the monied right is very afraid of. Because the "trickle down" talk is no longer registering with people - and this trend is growing - especially on the those hardest hit by this recession - middle ages white men - the so called prime GOP voting block. When more and more of those men who grew up under this Reaganomics fairy tale wake up and realize they have been lied to all their lives - I don't even know how bad the blow-back against the monied right will be by this demographic.

And my life changes HOW for the better when the 1% are hung? OR their assets are confiscated? OR leave the US to make their official residence the Cayman Islands in order NOT to have their assets and companies plundered?
The monied right (as war tagged them)...[is Eeee-vil!!]
But "monied" liberal Commie millionaires are what this capitalist, constitution-based Republic needs? How so? And when are the Leftist millionaires going to pay their "fair share"? When does 0bama demand companies like Jeffrey Immelt's GE needs to pay a single RED CENT in taxes?

Clearly, it will change for the better because before 1980, when this wealth transfer of 99% of wealth going to 1% of the population started, income levels AND upper income mobility was far higher.

That is a fact.
You have an extraordinarily static view of the world.
Do you think that we have the same "rich" people today as in 1980?
You better tell Bill Gates and Steve Jobs to give the money back to the Rockefellers, Vanderbilts, and Kenneys because their success from the garage to world dominance in their industry doesn't fit with your stupid, ignorant, no- nothing thesis that the same 1% keep getting richer.

1%s like Buffett are on board with redistribution of wealth because in the last 30 years upward mobility has decreased in America while it has increased in the industrialized world.
You scum are advocating for an economic model that promised greater upward mobility for the most people and it failed in that promise.

Buffet started out in life delivering groceries when he was a kid.
Sure, now he's a hypocrite pissing and moaning about not paying his "fair share" in taxes, while trying to skate out on $1 BILLION in back taxes.
So, Obama's business heroes are tax cheat Warren Buffet and GE CEO Jeff Immelt who has shipped tens of thousands of jobs overseas and while not paying a single penny in U.S. taxes last year.
But of course, people making a lousy $250,000 need to be screwed into the ground, so that we can't possibly build the assets needed to compete and challenge the status quo.
The level of hypocrisy in the Democrat Party is absolutely stunning.
I couldn't make this stuff up even if I tried. It's unbelievable.

The Buffet rule = you can become the world's largest tax cheat and also become an idol of the left at the same time.
It's unbelievable.
It demonstrates once again that the left isn't very smart...
It demonstrates once again that the left isn't very smart...
And they like it that way.....
Rules for Leftards #29). Say something so mind numbingly, idiotically stupid and be proud of it, and then say it again after I think everyone has forgotten I said it once before.....
The crazy fact is that the over the last 100 years the lunatic left has somehow managed to convince a large portion of the population that they are smart, modern, sophisticated, cool, etc. while the free market opposition is old, obsolete, outdated, archaic, etc.
The BUFFET RULE demonstrates conclusively that everything they stand for is built on a pile of lies. Buffet is a lying tax cheater who owes the government $1 BILLION in past taxes. But now he is the new hero of the left.
Unfortunately for the lunatic left, the media is no longer monopolized by ABC, NBC, and CBS. Today, we have talk radio, cable TV, blogs, tweets, and much more.
Free speech will always win out over tyranny, which is why the tyrannical left favors restricting speech.

One of my friends about 12-15 years ago asked me if it was possible to get the truth out to the average citizen about what the Leftards really were.... And I told him, "Do you see that monitor in front of you, that's how".......
Do you see that monitor in front of you, that's how
That's exactly right.
Compare the diversity of information sources today versus when I grew up in the 1970s.
There is no comparison, which is why the left is on the run.
It also explains why the polls are crazy, e.g., a small majority like Obama's tax the rich policies, but a 70% majority think that he is absolutely clueless on the economy...
Many people just aren't used to having this much information at their disposal, so they are confused and erratic.
We are living in a transition period between a closed media and open information.
Today we have both.
The closed media of ABC, NBC, and CBS won't last. Economically, they are on their last legs... This is a good thing.
