Wouldn’t it be convenient if there was a nice clean line that separated the 1% from the other 99?
Let’s just ignore reality, and pretend the world is as simple as we’d like it to be.[/quote]
If you have a married couple, both doctors, wouldn’t they be in the “1%”? What about a lady with a successful dessert shop? Isn’t just about every professional athlete and entertainer in the “1%”? (or more accurately, the “0.1%”?)
Should we assume that anytime someone has a million or 10 million in the bank those are ill-gotten gains? Maybe we should imprison all those people for their self-evident crimes. Down with the rapacious bourgeoisie! Down with the smug intelligentsia! Let the cultural revolution begin! They’re all crooks! I would personally be rich, sitting on the couch eating potato chips, if these people hadn’t stolen MY share with their tricksy corporation thingies.
Damn I kind of miss those pies now…
Perhaps I should get a Mao jacket for halloween…
