So people who engage in international business, where their customers are all around the world and who typically seat their profits in the U.S, are screwing U.S. citizens?

I'm auctioning you off on e-bay right now!:2razz:
Democrats can say anything they want. Politicians vote all the time on bills they know wont/cant pass just to make a statement or appease voters. the proof is in their actions. Go ahead...say it...YES...the majority of Wall Street and banker money goes to democrats. I know it must be like swallowing a big **** sandwich...but face facts...your team is just as corrupt as the other team.The majority of the the big corporate money went to the GOP candidates in 2010. It seems the corporate money people have found that the majority of Democrats are not playing ball the way they used to.
And you ignored all the positions I listed that the Democrats took in favor of the middle class that the GOP was opposed to.
If I walk up and offer you $100 for a blow job and you deny the offer, then shame on me...and Im the bad guy. If you walk up and say..."hey...put that $100 away bitch, it will cost you at least $1000 and you have to give it to me all up front and if you DONT make this deal you WONT like the consequences long term" then where does your problem reside? You and others keep making this claim that 'the majority of democrats' are somehow pristine and opposed to Wall Street influence. Really? Who received the bulk of their campaign contributions? Who has ALWAYS been in bed with the people you claim they are 'against'? If you dont think the democrats are as corrupt as the republicans and arent responsible for creating the climate of corruption, you arent paying attention or are blinded by your partisanship.
Actually, from my understanding.
1% rule 80-90% with the help of 9-19%.
Globally, historically, anthropologically.
The 50s-70s were an abberation that has been corrected.
Funny... I don't feel "ruled." Just how do the 1% rule anything?

Do you honestly believe your government does what the VOTERS want?
Or what those who invest in campaigns want?
Honestly?

Excactly, looking at past poverty rates, we have seen a long term decline. However, people's expectations have been going up faster than the living standards.The argument that the 50s-70s were some great time, is an appeal to tradition.
Nothing but a red herring not really supported by any factual evidence.
"99%" seems ridiculous. What do you think the real % is?
Power!
"Controlling the wealth of America – top 1 percent control 83 percent of U.S. stocks."
Controlling the wealth of America

so what? winnners win and too many losers are content to whine and demand the government do something rather than getting off their asses and try to achieve

You can't win a rigged game, that is what the protests are about.
btw your claim is a lie-stocks are not all the wealth-that ignores real estate and homes-your claim is misleading
According to this it seems much of the real estate is controlled by the top ten %:

Well I lived through half of that period, so have some first-hand experience.
And I notice you allowed the rest of my statement to stand.
The reference to the 50s to 70s was speaking to the statistics pertaining to that period as the differ from those AFTER that period. They are different. Something substantial did happen at the end of the 70s.
again, so what? what is your solution? punish the most successful people? redistribute wealth
all of the solutions I have heard-other than taking away the incentives for the middle class to be slothful-are far worse than this supposed problem
Did you know US had nearly the same wealth inequity as Sweden? And Sweden has one of the lowest income inequalities in the world. Rich people are always going to control more wealth because they save more of what they earn.You can't win a rigged game, that is what the protests are about.
