SHOCKING: Wealth inequality in America

I wonder what is the ethnic composition of the 1%.
Care to guess how important the sons of Abraham are amongst them?

No comments about this? Seriously?

Better to talk about how tanned people are or if the Great Republic of Pastabalkania will rise again?

This is really appalling. I blame this on the excessive capitalist society and mindset in the US - no-one cares about the poor there, especially not the super-rich.

Why always give Jews the blame? Most certainly most of the rich guys are not Jews.

"The 1% is 99% Jewish."

A sign I saw at an Occupy protest.

In the US it wouldn't surprise me. Elsewhere,I doubt it. Jews do make up a large percentage of the upper class in the US, disproportionate to their percentage of the population, that's for sure. But not 99% of it. 30-40% tops. But they're 2% of the US population.

Tax the top 1% to death ... seriously. The only solution. Redistribute among America's poorest.

We can only wish ... injustice rules and people (sheeple) continue to vote for it, dreading the "s-word" (socialism). A bit of socialism wouldn't hurt America ...

This is America, they want it like this...

Everything else is "communism"

The Republicans will never allow it. Nor will the political lobbies. They lead the peopleto believe that it will lead to be like the USSR or something.

But Canada has a wealth redistribution program and has for years, plus free health care, and it's easier to do business here than the US as well, so that blows that logic out of the water.
