Frank J. Fleming, clearly not Einstein. Frank, you can’t NOT have a top 1%.
Classic liberal ILlogic.
A) That entire article (including the poor writing skills) looks like it was written by a third grader.
B) Idiot author of this piece is also the author of an upcoming book “Obama: The Greatest President in the History of Everything”
Nuff said.
It’s easy to see how the wealthiest 1 percent are devastating our country. Let’s say you took part in a raffle and won a prize of $500. Happy at your good fortune, you’d start thinking of all the neat things you could buy with $500.
But say the person next to you won $1 million. Then, suddenly, your $500 would seem like nothing in comparison, and all your ideas of what to do with that $500 would seem pathetic compared to what you could do if only you had the other person’s $1 million.
Ummm.... if you entered the wrong raffle, then it’s YOUR fault! If you didn’t get the First prize, be happy with what you won. Is this really how they think????
I could while away the hours,
Conversing with the flowers,
If I only had a brain...

“...99 percent, who suffer from the 1 percent’s vast wealth...”
‘suffer’?? Really????
It must be absolute he(* on earth receiving student loans (recipients have NO intention of repaying), credit cards (used with equal disregard for repayment), the perpetual, unconditional and fawning indulgence of parents, the government, teachers, banks....etc.
Yea... that has to be h%$#!!!!
Satire, I assume.
LOL! Excellent article!
When I see all these privileged little twits waving their I-Phones around complaining because they're not as rich as Steve Jobs, I want to smack them upside the head.
What happens when you outlaw the top 1% as he suggests? Why, the next top 1% (previously the 99% group), becomes the top 1%. Let's outlaw the too. And so on...
What nonsense. How does the Post print this Socialist dribble. We are the land of opportunity. The rich employ the rest. Get over it. Don't take the job and hang out in parks all winter.
If anything, get those that get rich off the government and us taxpayers off the dole. Oh, and outlaw unions while you're at it. At least the fat cats that run the unions - they are easily part of that 1% this guy hates.
If we woke up tomorrow morning, all wealth was wiped out, and EVERYONE started from zero, within a year NEARLY all(except for Paris Hilton and the Kennedy’s) the same rich folks would probably be wealthy again while the same people complaining about wealth fairness would be STILL complaining.
JMO...
Any of you unemployed been offered a job by the OWS-ers? Anyone....?
When one person takes the property of another, that’s tyranny, but when lots of people get together and do it, that’s democracy. So we should legislate that the 1 percent no longer get to keep that vast wealth and must instead distribute it among the rest of us. (I should get the largest portion because it was my idea.)
I saw Micheal Moore on a few MSNBC shows last week who said exactly the above, no kidding. His exact words:"All money is ours owned by the 100% commonly and we the 99% should be deciding what to do with it."
Investor Jim Rogers did his part a few years back. He made his kids learn Mandarin (Chinese) and then moved with his family out of Manhattan to Singapore. All we need is more to follow. Unbelievably a few here cursed him for being unpatriotic for fleeing. But he made this country fairer by going. GO Jim!

not to sound harsh, but if all the money were taken from the one percent and divided equally amongst the 100 percent, in less than five eyars the one percent would have it all back again. With the possible exception of some of those who inherited it.
Frank, OWS thinks the 1% is really 50% of the population or so. They hate all those who work, invest, run companies and make money. They are the dead beats of society.
When so many folks are unable to identify satire, is it an indictment against those folks, an indictment against the times we live in, or a testament to the lterary ability of the author?
This is satire but usually there is a tip off somewhere in the piece. The author neglects this important feature making it difficult for us to recognize he is not just some idiot hippie.
