It's not the 1% who control anything. It's the top 60 families. The top 0.000001%. These are for the most part people that the idiot OWS protesters have never heard of. Bill Gates is rich as an individual is concerned but the WalMart family wields more wealth and more power than he could ever dream of. The families that control companies like Cargill, and Seaboard. Those are the real rich elite that are ruining our country and buying our government.
We need more principled politicians who do not allow themselves to be bought, like obama! lol

I used to know one of them, and they are SO different from you and me.
Taxing the rich, silly. The rich only get richer under higher taxes, which yields even more money. Makes sense to me.
How did Auntie and Uncle get to Bel-Air? It's not as if the average kid in West Philadelphia or Kensington is going to get magically whisked out of the ghetto into the stratosphere.

The Auntie and Uncle got to Bel-Air because of their parents, silly. Neo-progressives believe that the rich are that way through inheritance. I think the story of Will Smith getting whisked away is more believable from that neo-prog perspective than you're lending credit to.
I will have to change the deductable on my All Income from All Sources income tax from 90th percentile to the 98th percentile. Anyone making under about 250k pays no federal income tax. The rest pay all of the government's operating costs. They benefit the most so they pay the most.

The uber-rich will make $249,999/year while the rest make $10,000-15,000/year, but with plenty of vacation time. Of course, they won't be able to go on vacation because they have no money, but that's ok I guess. Sounds like a utopian socialist paradise to me.

This, frankly, is psychotic.
Please explain how any one person benefits from the government more than any other person. Unless you are on the dole.
