Saw this chart on Democratic Underground, and if you need any
indication as to why the Right-tards basically want and feel they need
to enslave and eliminate populations:
The top 1% have 35% of the wealth in this country. (According to the
chart...)
Take that to 5%, and it goes to 60%.
Top 10% have 72%.
Top 20% have 83%.
Top 60% have 92.6%.
Scale that to 100%, though...
Top 1% have almost 40%.
Top 5% have about 2/3 of all the wealth.
Top 10% have past the 3/4 mark.
Top 20% get to almost 90% of the wealth.
Now, why do I do that rescaling at the top 60%?
Take a look at the chart figures for the last 40%...
66 million people (that's about 22% of the current population) have
only 0.2% of the nation's wealth.
ZERO POINT TWO PERCENT.
And that's not the worst of it.
The rest: The poorest 18% -- 54 million people, according to the
chart...
Have no worth at all -- or are negative.
If you need any evidence as to why the Corporate States of America are
fucked, and fucked beyond fucked, there you have it.
