I hear things like this a lot but the math doesn't seem to add up I mean the top 1% owns like, what, 50%? Of the wealth (or was it 80%?) Where the fuck would the other 50% or 80% go in order to make everyone poor Heh. One thing that really stuck with me was from the 2008 presidential campaign. Obama was saying that the richest americans were owning a bigger and bigger percentage of the wealth while the poorest were owning a smaller and smaller percentage. John McCain replied to this argument by saying that, yes the rich get a larger and large slice of the pie, but the pie itself is getting bigger and bigger... so that even if the poor get a smaller and smaller percentage, that smaller percentage means more and more wealth because the pie itself gets bigger. I thought it made sense but whatever. It's probably one of those "true but misleading" things I suppose. --- I don't hate people, people hate me. <cite>frozenshock posted [p:904459834] in Enough abo...
