There is nothing wrong with the top 1% of a capitalist society controlling 40% of the wealth just like there is nothing wrong with monarchies and feudal governments.

You are insanely insecure about your own and other people's finances. The mark of someone who is desperate trying to compensate for some kind of failure he's had in his life.

Stop attacking vaylorie guys! I mean who really cares that apple's annual profits can easily pay for the US's deficit?

You're video even calls out that the bottom 20% don't invest in the market which has also grown by 1300% in the past 30 years. The wealth of the 1% fluctuates tremendously and grows tremendously because they invest. There are certainly immoral and corrupt politicians and wealthy people and everyone is right to be angry with them, but the fact that someone is wealthy does not preclude me from succeeding. | |||

In all honesty, I would agree with vaylorie if our politicians/law makers/law enforcers/regulating committees/etc. could not be so easily bought out.

Take the top 500 companies that report a positive annual profit and tax it 30% and the deficit is about half gone. Don't believe me? Do the math. http://money.cnn.com/magazines/fortu...012/full_list/ A lot of these fortune 500 companies don't pay close to the 30% (most pay about 1%) they are supposed to because of the fucked corporate tax code which they lobbied for. (more sauce: http://www.ctj.org/pdf/notax2012.pdf) What is even more fucked is that this is only 500 corporations. A large portion of our spending problem would be solved if we stopped spending on these too big to fail companies, stopped giving them tax breaks and closed the tax loop holes.
