The 1 percenters ...

Just to add something that occurred to me this morning ... does our Mr.Tolstoy know what defines "the richest 1%?" There's an actual dollar amount attached to that description, other then the elusive "millionaire or billionaire pigs." Want to take a guess? 10 million? 5? How about 1 million? Surely at least 1 million. No. It's $388,000. $388,000 per year gets you into the richest 1%. And in that group you have a guy that owns a few florist shops ... a family with a mid sized farm ... a pediatric surgeon that corrects cleft palates for infants (sometimes voluntarily in third world nations). THESE are the people you would have us believe meet in dark rooms amongst the billows of smoke in order to further plot just how to "take" more wealth from the downtrodden? Please .....
