Knobby, I object to the 1% MEME and here's why...
Its not the 1% that are screwing us. SEriously many of the 1% are the very people who contribute heavily to this sosciety.
They are our doctors, lawyers, small business people.
They're that sweaty guy who works his ass off every day baking pizzas for us in his own little ship.
Most of them are honest players who are getting SCREWED as badly as the rest of us are!
There are about 4,000 people in this nation who control the KLEPTOCRACY, and I can assure you they are in the top 1/100th of 1% economically speaking. (and even among THAT class, there are patriotic Americans who are NOT screwing this nation, too)
Now I ***** about classISM all the time, because I recognize that this nation despsite all its protestations about what a wonderful classless society we live is, is entirely full of crap.
But parcing out social indicatments based entirely on socio-economic status is a TRAGIC MISTAKE OF THE LEFT.
The criminals who are raping our nation (indeed the world) have NAMES.
We OUGHT to be using those name and NOT painting with a broad brush like "THE 1%".
WE'RE NOT ******* COMMUNISTS, mate
We're not POL POT!
DETAILS (like who actually is ******* us over!) matter!
