You really should stick to verifiable statisics Cic, rather than dubious Snopes-like urban myths :) I think what you meant to say was that 93% of all financial wealth is controlled by 10% of the country, or that 1% of the top elite control 42% of the US nation's wealth www.mybudget360.com |

I downloaded it onto a USB drive and play in car. |

| 1354775 | 2013-10-21 03:31:00 | I heard a political commentator say that the problem was caused by all the stuff they sweep under the carpet raising the floor level so much that they have to lift the ceiling so as to give them some more headroom. A bit tongue in cheek methinks, but maybe a modicum of truth in what he said. Ken |

You are drifting too far to the left. In the good old days everyone knew their place in society, and how to tug at their forelocks in deference to the wealthy passing by. Now, everyone wants a slice of the cake.....I wanna, I wanna, goes the cry :) |

I hope we are more enlightened, certainly the lordly set have to let out the stately homes these day. 93% to 1% according to my man, something has to be done. I am surprised the ivory tower lot don't have more to say on the subject. |

| 1354779 | 2013-10-21 09:43:00 | Yeah the system is screwed, but it's the best we've come up with so far. At least we all have the tiny chance to become one of the elite under this system. I'm sure if humanity survives long enough we'll discover the perfect system. Right now of course we are running at a cliff with our eyes closed, but that's another topic. |
