Hello PA. I think if I understand your question correctly, let me say that I don’t see all members of the ‘1%’ through the same lens. I tried to illustrate this with reference to Steve Jobs. Steve Jobs, were he still with us, would be identified among the segment of the 1 percent, who produced genuine value to the market without leveraging government influence, and was rewarded by the market for it. That segment of the 1 percent is beyond reproach IMO.
The other segment, which has attained enormous wealth by hitching its wagon to the legislative gravy train and has accumulated wealth through financialization, is the portion of the 1 percent that calls for scrutiny and a plan to separate the umbilical cord that connects them to the crime syndicate we call the two party system in Washington D.C.
