[QUOTE="diesel96, post: 585461, member: 9859"] Considering the top 1% rake in over 20% of the national income and the top 10 % rake in over half of the total income, yeah, why not ? And please, don't give us this wealthy people work hard line of mularky. Working class people work just as hard if not more and where are their fruits of labor? I'll tell you where their friuts of labor are, there stagnate, just like their wages, yet the top wage earners, who profits from the sweat of the working class, their increases are more than 300 to one. At one point in 2005' the ratio was 500 to 1. Back in the 60's, 70's and 80's it was more like 30/40 to 1. Nowadays, they're even awarded bonuses for failures.... We're both poor slobs compared to the aristocrats that run/influence this country, they don't give a rat's a s s about you or me, yet, you'll defend them to the end. Didn't we break away from the Church of England and it's Monastary rule via The American Revolution, and didn't our forefathers write up the Declaration of Independence and our Constitution intending for our country not to be ran by "a few"?
