RATTrules, you keep repeating the same shit over and over. It leaves me under the impression that you are a knee-jerk reactionary who doesn't really understand why the things you complain about are the way they are (a common accusation of the OWS protesters, no?). Lets see what kind of depth you have. Please answer the following questions to the best of your knowledge.
RATTrules wrote: The top 1% own 40% of the wealth in America! 40%!
How did that happen and how can you remedy the situation? (please place more emphasis on the first part of the question)
Define wealth and include a description, or better yet a method, for determining value.
RATTrules wrote: Not only that the income level for the top 1% has gone up exponentially higher than the rest of us over the past 30 years! They buy their way to many of the advantages they have!
Why has the income level of the top 1% gone up higher than the rate of the "average" worker?
Describe the advantages they have "bought".
RATTrules wrote:They get all the tax breaks and shelters while the rest of us slave away! If you don't think the very rich buy politicians and parties then you're living under a rock!
To be fair, if you answer the above questions with attempted conviction I will explain how the above quote is inaccurate and why making a distinction between "getting" tax breaks and tax shelters and "finding" tax breaks and tax shelters is very important, and reflective of the larger problems at hand.

Can you lay out the rigorous application of logic and reason that led you to that number?
