Do you understand the difference between 1% of a population and the TOP 1% of a population?


Do YOU?

The top 1% is exactly 1% of the population. It's math.

--------------------------------------------------------

The problem seems to be in the rhetoric. When the OWS people say they are against the top 1%, mathematically that means 1%. But now I see that people are here claiming that it's not REALLY the top 1%. It's just a certain "type" of person.

Either it's 1% or it isn't.

---------------------------------------------------------
I do have one other point. When Obama talks about the "millionaires and billionaires" who should pay "their fair share", he's talking about people exactly like this poster's dad. Do we REALLY think in any way, shape, or form, that this guy wasn't doing his part?

This is why I am against simply raising taxes on the "millionaires". It sounds so fair, since it doesn't affect most of us. But it actually does, when the businesses these people run start to go under. We ALL need them to do well.

Because you feel the need to put him down. I have a problem with that, and am not going to sit by and let people get away with that.

Thanks for you support.

The only reason i made this thread was to show how not all "CEO" or "1%ers" or whatever you want to call it, are not all bad and have hards. I dont know how this turned into a put down show.
