    Each of us on this forum are one percenters (or very close to it) when you look at the world as a whole.
    The only people we should try to get even with...
    ...are those who've helped us.

    Right 'round the corner could be bigger than ourselves.

    But the inequality of the 1% in the US to the rest of us is the greatest compared to anywhere else in the world.

    Wouldn't it be funny if the world ended in 2010, with lots of fire?

    agreed, what comes to mind - HSBC - CAUGHT with proof that they were money laundering for terrorists. No jail time or arrests, just pay this little fine here and keep on doing your business. We wouldn't want the economy to suffer, no no can't have that.
