OK, I say it… Rich mother****ers don't deserve any more god damned money
Over half the world's wealth? Are you ****ing kidding me? In a world where misery abounds, where poor and distressed people are turning to radicalism in order to alleviate their suffering, where the environment is being ravaged for profit, where the world around us is crumbling, we want to fatten the already overflowing coffers of the greediest of the greedy?
**** that noise.
This isn't about jealously, or envy… It's about basic survival.
Our economies have been stagnant for decades, wages frozen as the cost of living rises, becoming more and more expensive for those who earn wages to live. We've forgotten how to prosper. We've learned that empathy is for suckers. It's now our duty to love our rich masters at the detriment of ourselves and our loved ones.
I could go on all day about this, but I won't. The balance of power has been bought and paid for by the people who have stolen our futures. Little do they know that these things always require a correction, a reckoning. Forcing one will not make it any more palatable for anyone. It'll create general suffering to impel action.
At that time, after the chaos and the aftermath, people will look back and wonder why we let this go on for so long. They'll say that they've came to their senses where we have not. And after some time, in a moment of comfort and absence of due diligence, they'll start creeping into the same old mistakes that got us where we are now.
Past is prologue.
"Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it."
George Santayana
I DEMAND equal outcomes!
MrScorpio gets his horizon expanded to include the rest of the world and his position in comparison to the rest of the world...

12. How are we defining "rich" here?
By global standards, the rich includes you. So unless you're willing to give up everything and live like most people do in the third world, whining about how "rich mother****ers" are greedy and don't deserve more money only makes you a hypocrite.
Obviously, this is far from welcome are the DUmp:

Mrs. C is obviously unaware that anyone making $40k a year is in the wealthiest group on the planet.
This isn't about jealously, or envy…
Yes it is.

No, fat boy, it's all about jealousy and envy. :loser:

Truth, will not be tolerated.
You know, Mrs Corpio ..... since one of your claims is to be retired military, that instantly puts you in, approximately, the top 77% worldwide. :bird:

Of course the DUmbasses fall for the "1% own 50% of the money" lie. It's the world's governments that control the most money in the world, not private citizens.

Yes it is.
One need not make >/= $100K/year to be in the top 25% in the US. And most people in the US are among the richest in the world, as that DU-noob pointed out.
Envy is the lurid-green heart of Populism, Progressivism, various varieties of socialism, and whatever other euphemistic names such folks use for themselves.

Stop it, with the inconvenient data.

Essentially, hi-tech feudalism.
"Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it."
That, being quoted by a (D)Ummie Socialist. :rotf: :rotf:

...The type of inequality that currently characterizes the world’s economies is unlike anything seen in recent years, the report explained. “Between 2002 and 2010 the total wealth of the poorest half of the world in current U.S. dollars had been increasing more or less at the same rate as that of billionaires,†it said. “However since 2010, it has been decreasing over that time.â€
Winnie Byanyima, the charity’s executive director, noted in a statement that more than a billion people lived on less than $1.25 a day.
Only 8 nonsensical replies and sunk faster then a rock.
Guess DUmbasses don`t really care about those in the world really living in total poverty.

15. couldn't agree more
And sorry, I know that the ACA has helped countless people, but I am paying $700 a month for insurance now. That's with a high deductible and an enormous out of pocket. If I got the cheaper one, I wouldn't be able to go to Northwestern and I live in Chicago. That's where all my doctors are.
The insurance companies are still making a killing and broke people like me are hardly making it

What a bold, controversial position to take at the DUmp, he's a real risk taker. :pineapple:

23. In a just, healthy, economy the uber-wealthy would be taxed out of existence.
DUmmy logic - Since I am not smart enough to succeed by myself, by God I am going to make sure that I steal the fruits of the labor of those that are smart enough to succeed...

I wonder if Lamond X is aware that those on the list include many leaders of countries on that continent from which he's originally derived.
Robert Mugabe alone's probably stashed away a mountain of it.

Wealth and income is a relative term. $10,000 in one nation, you are poor. In another nation, $10,000 makes you a king.

America IS the 1%: You need just $34,000 annual income to be in the global elite... and HALF the world's richest people live in the U.S.

Hey, DUmmtards, if the economy is going so great, why does Obama want so many more new handouts? Also, how does the Pittstain feel about that whole 'End the trusts' thing?

Let's pursue the dummies' logic to it's logical conclusion on getting rid of the rich.
Every rich person you do away with moves you up the wealthy scale.
Eventually, unless you work to impoverish yourself, while you are doing away with the rich, you get to the top of the hit parade.
What then ?

all of those were quick google searches, it wouldn't surprise me at all if they were funneling money elsewhere.
