Re: Billionaires for Bush

Yap... it makes perfect sense...
Sometimes I just wonder HOW it is possible that most Americans don’t see it. The level of social / political unawareness in this country is scary. I mean… it’s true that the rich are getting richer and richer; the Big Corporations are getting more and more powerful, but we are still talking about the 3-5% of the people of this country… shouldn’t WE (the other 95%) be able to have our say?
Isn’t it amazing that sooooo many people keep taking it up their booties with such admirable grace and nonchalance?

"Who Owns America?
The top 10 percent of American households own 98 percent of the tax-exempt state and local bonds, 94 percent of business assets, and 95 percent of the value of all trusts.
The richest 1 percent own 60 percent of all corporate stock and all business assets.
True, some 40 percent of families own some stocks or bonds, but almost all of these have total holdings of less than $2,000. Taking into account their debts and mortgages, 90 percent of American families have little or no net assets."
