Look if you want to be rich, just put on your Sunday's best and go up to the manager, shake their hand and give them your resume and look them in the eye and say you want a job.

Actually you're right. Our rich people need to work harder to increase poverty more. Our poor still have potable water (except in Michigan) and electricity.

lol. anyone who manages to accumulate that kind of wealth has no doubt committed a laundry list of abominable crimes and should be put to death along with their families. there's no end to the list of causes all that money could be put toward. expropriating them would definitely make the world a better place.

I remember seeing some lovely beat rear end pickup with "part of the one percent" spray painted on it tearing up and down the interstate near my house about four years ago. Thanks to this thread I've discovered that such mentalities are still alive and well.

America is skewing OECD wage calculations because CEOs and top board members get paid millions per year while the rest of the wage slaves get under 40k. It's pretty hosed up.

I live in the south, I promise you it was a sincere reaction to occupy. I'm sure the actual vehicle wasn't the guys daily driver, just some rust bucket they picked up to use as a mobile billboard.

What if it was actually driven by Warren Buffett? Doesn't he famously drive some lovely car (see the rich are just like us, but also better because they understand the value of saving!)

The rich have built themselves a nice little pedestal and the poor are like angry, hungry piranhas circling underneath them catching their scraps. With the way things are going, it's not a matter of if the privileged tumble down their pedestal but when. My only goal in life right now is that I get to live long enough to see it happen

The rich are banking on their progeny to obfuscate their crimes against humanity. "Stop Being Poor" as an actual slogan should tip you off.

The way I see it, the rich are extremely rich, but the poor really aren't that poor when you compare it to most of the world, and human history. When has there ever been a civilization with such plenty that its poorest citizens are all fat?
