1% Gained 82% of 2017 Wealth Created

Did y'all know the Greeks believed that everyone was qualified to govern?

That's why they let everyone vote.

I'm so glad I got to take this mandatory class.

Seriously, this mandatory class of yours is taught by a small, drooling, half-naked man in a straitjacket who barks out loud when he isn't squatting down to eat his own poop, isn't it? Please, please, say that it is... Or at the very least, please don't tell me that the lecturer somehow achieved any degree in history. Please?

I wrote the book, "The Center," but there is no center: there's only the Politics of Greed vs. the Politics of Envy, and democracy determines which is in the majority at any one time.

Don't forget the Politics of Cynicism, a splash of bitters to taste.

People don't vote based on cynicism, they only write about it.

True enough. Still, there is more to democracy than just voting.

I agree that not voting is a BIG part of democracy. In fact, I doubt anyone here but me votes. Who actually voted in the last election?

This is why I want to limit enfranchisement. So degenerates can focus on important things like pussy marches and complaining about "hate speech" on Facebook.

Yeah, there are over 2,000 billionaires now, and all the money and income increases go to the 1%, but we’ve got cellphones and running water, and you can be reasonably sure that most people can afford housing, so what’s there to complain about? We’re fabulously wealthy compared to Neanderthals.

Billionaires are not the 1%.

Globally, the 1% is net worth $770,000.

In the USA, the 1% is net worth $8.4 million.

If you're calculating globally, the 1% are in the American middle class.

If you're calculating in the USA only, the 1% are business owners below the median $10 million average.

Is that really people to complain about?

Only if you're a communist, or a nonsensical panic monkey, or both.

Well, when retirement is expected at minimum to cost around $500k per person, and only the top 1-2% of us have it... yeah, that's a problem.

We've just undertaken a quantum leap in human productivity and industry, and all of it has gone to a select few. That is not a sustainable system. Lampposts and guillotines are coming.

The lamppost and guillotines may be waiting for the ignorant, entitled masses, so don’t get too happy. We’ve all seen Cambodia, Iran, and Venezuela. When dipshit ideologues “rise up” against the evils of “The West” and “Capitalism” your nation is on the fast track to Shitholeville.

Keep agitating ... all the way to your designated lamppost.

Don't be silly. This will have nothing to do with "social science" distractions.

You lost 3% of your money so far this year.

Silly is claiming only 1-2% of Americans can retire when that metric can clearly be proven false a dozen different ways.

Then, like all low-info, mentally challenged zealots, you go directly for the OMG OMG my stupid fake stat means revolution, EAT THE RICH!

Guess being a caricature never gets old, eh?

Once Social Security finally dies, I guess we’ll find out real quick.
