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.
Mr. Bozo T. Clown doesn't have an account here, but he lurks. He's asked me, as his agent, to pass this on to the forum: he does not appreciate the comparisons to statists like Goody.
He wants to let everyone know that he's a "self-made" clown - one who's never taken a handout from anyone or any gov't entitly.
Please respect his wishes and refrain from making such offensive comparisons in the future.

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.
