I can hardly wait for the upgrade!! !
I tried to edit the above post and it said I cannot edit until I wait a long time!! !!
In 2009 the wealthiest 1% got 95%of the economic gain and the bottom 90% got poorer!
What does that mean? That if you are in the 90% (those that create the wealth) higher productivity does not effect your life. Your ethics (lovenot hate) is teaching people that working is stupid.

You must see the writing on the wall by now with the evisceration of American manufacturing, huge national debt, foreign countries buying up American land and businesses, as well as mega-immigration of poor people. Americans are the 1% of the world and the world demands an end to the wealth inequality.

"America is the 1%"
"the poorest five per cent of Americans earn on average the same as the richest five per cent of Indians". That means our poorest of poor earn like their doctors, engineers and lawyers.

"America is the 1%"
"even the poorest 5% of Americans are better off financially than two thirds of the entire world"

The poorest Americans might be richer than people in other countries, but that doesn't change the fact that they are still poor in this country.

Lovenothate,
Your solution to our economic problems is silly. You actually believe that making 90% of Americans as poor as a third world starving citizen will rescue our economy! 8O

400 individual Americans own half the wealth of the entire US. Your "argument" also applies to them. If we have to make $2 an hour, they should also. Especially considering that WE contribute to our country's wealth and they do not.

OK, how is this for a compromise?
Everyone makes $2 an hour!
Your ideas are so outrageously silly,that luckily no one takes them seriously .

Thanks for proving my point! We are better off because we do not follow your policies!! !! Or are you arguing that it would be a good thing if we were as poor as starving Indians? 8O So, countries with sweat shops and extreme poverty are a role model for you about how things should be?! !! !!
PS; I do not trust the daily mail ( a tabloid) http://www.buzzfeed.com/tabathaleggett/ ... -headlines
Tho they did do some great investigative reporting about Bigfoot and Elvis being spotted!! !

The problem is that politicians are selling our sovereignty to international banks and corporations.

These ABSOLUTELY NO RESTRICTIONS trade agreements are to blame for the loss of manufacturing jobs , national debt etc not because our minimum wage is higher than what most humans on earth make.

The above videos are great! Unfortunately, if you have time warner you probably will have problems. Time warner is not a legitimate company.

?? The world's 85 richest people own as much as the poorest 50 percent of humanity.
? 70 percent of the world's people live in a country where income inequality has increased in the past three decades.
? In the U.S., where the gap between rich and poor has grown at a faster rate than any other developed country, the top 1 percent captured 95 percent of post-recession growth (since 2009), while 90 percent of Americans became poorer.

Without such a gross redistribution of wealth from those that create it (workers both creative and manual) to those that create nothing of value, the world would be a better place. No poverty etc.
Unfortunately, like mosquitos the 1% will not leave voluntarily.

One must remember that the 1% are not only parasites (they live off of other people) they are also shallow. We live in fantastic times. We are about to experience a paradigm shift. Technology is increasing exponentially, insights in quantum mechanics is mind blowing, how something can come from nothing (the ultimate mystery) is about to be solved... And what do the 1% care about? Pretty rocks (diamonds) and shiny metals (gold,silver etc). Compared to the true elite (those on the front lines of a brave new world) they are like gorillas fascinated by a faberge egg.

As George Carlin said,"They want it all and they will get it"!
However, they know that when they try to take it all we might rebel. That is why; the end of net neutrality (first take over the radio stations and then the country falls was the old school insight), no more privacy or a right to a trial.

If it wasn't for the poor the rich would have to eat their money!
Symbols have replaced reality. If we wake up and realize that symbols are not reality, the illusionary power our owners have over us will vanish! It will be like 7,000,000,000 lions escaping from the circus. We will finally realize that our trainer's chair and whip are silly.
