The Rich, Wealthy, 1%.........

[CapnAwesome]

Do you know what's the top 1% when it comes to world wide economy? 50,000 dollars. That's 50,000 dollars for a family of 4, not for an individual. Many many Americans who think they are suffering because of the rich are actually part of the 1%. I wish people would wake up and realize how privileged they are and stop bitching about they imaginary suffering.

I can only speak for myself.  It is not based purely on the amount of money someone has.  It has to do with how they get it and what they do with it.  And given the way that many get rich by taking advantage of other people, the animosity is well-earned.

Indeed the rich are exerting a worrying amount of influence around the world to try and get the rest of the money it would seem.
They seem to resent anyone else having any sort of life or benefit that involves the moving around of currency which they view as the coins that got away.
The rich seem almost exclusively to vile self centred and unempathic, time for the pitch forks.
