The global monied class...

[W*GS]

(Paraphrased from http://www.capgemini.com/services-an...ldwealthreport)

An annual survey estimated that the combined wealth of the world’s 10.9m rich people (27% of whom are women) stood at $42.7 trillion in 2010, more than in 2007, the year the financial crisis was brewing. More than half of the monied classes live in the United States, Japan and Germany, though Asia has more in total than Europe for the first time.

Do some math. $42.7 trillion divided by 10.9 million = ~$4.3 million apiece.

7 billion world population / 10.9 million = 1 person in 642.

I like my chances of striking it rich.

Hey W*GS, what are the odds!?

The Green Movement...

Its about this:





...not about this:

[W*GS]

Deflection isn't your strong point.

You're still hoping your boot-licking will get you noticed, drama.

[epicSocialism4tw]

The Green Movement defined: money moving from the pockets of billionaires to the pockets other billionaires.

If you buy in, the joke's on you.

Tax those cow farts! I mean really...you guys don't see how that is a punchline?

[W*GS]

It's amazing how the hard-right anti-knowledge crowd thinks that nature is reacting to some sort of scam perpetrated by Al Gore.

I mean, how does the Arctic sea ice know to melt and shrink in area and volume?

Perhaps drama can explain.

PS - This is 1958:

The Arctic sea ice has melted and frozen repeatedly epoch after epoch, age after age, since the Earth came into existence. But I guess that's the Inconvenient Truth here though, isn't it.

Its typical of your ilk to limit your perspective to what is allowed within the scope of guilt-tripping Americans, and what fits the big money goals of the internationalist left.

It hasn't melted and shrunk as rapidly as it has in the last 30 years.

You seem to think that previous geologic periods (in which no humans existed) are relevant to the climate today, in which there are 7 billion of us. Why?

It's all a global socialist/communist conspiracy, then.

If you believe that, then gaffe's belief that 9/11 was a Jew-driven inside job is trivially true in comparison.

PS - It doesn't surprise me that being held responsible makes you feel guilty. You know deep down, but your political/psychological makeup won't let you admit it.

The propaganda machine has been very effective in conning middle and lower class voters to oppose "job killing taxes" of the top 5% of Americans.

How they achieved this triumph of propaganda needs to be exposed.

In a fair debate of the issues -- the people will win every time. But there is no fair debate -- because the people do not have access to the media (i.e., the propaganda machine).

Same old rock. Same old hard place.

What's amazing to me is how these right-wing sheep bought that same trickle-down, "cutting taxes on corporations and the wealthy creates jobs" fairy tale from GeeDubya, get totally fleeced, and still continue to spout the fairy tale.

For these people, I guess there's nothing worse than having to admit you were wrong or that you were suckered - even if it means having to defend a discredited economic philosophy until the day they die.
