I don't know, maybe the same people moving into Detroit?
The destruction of free market capitalism, the decay of proper economic mobility, corporate subsidy and law that promotes coproration over smaller business' bought and paid for. It's a purposeful march to ensure the rich stay rich. And that 1% ain't even safe. Eventually we're really going to be looking at the 0.1%, and even many of those in that 1% will find themselves down in the slums with the rest of the serfs.
This is the movement to reinstate a true aristocracy. Corporate America is but one necessity in that quest.
That has nothing to do with world wealth distribution.....or the propensity to spend. you are bonging while we bing. You seemed to have a VERY hard time believing the math, questioning it many times....and you STILL do not have correct numbers.I feel no need to answer ALL of your off topic non-sequiturs, get back to the OP.
You asked, not thinking that it could be answered.You offered an exception. There are exceptions to everything.
However, the reality exists that Google employs thousands of people. How poor is Google, now?
Ya see, Google made a ton of money and now it's trickling down.
Don't worry about it. The new Republican majorities in both houses have YOUR best interests in mind.
Spent 35 years in the business world and can honestly say you have no idea what you are talking about and totally ignore anything that contradicts your point of view. Most corporations are good corporate citizens and it is only class envy that generates comments like yours. If anyone is bought and paid for it is the Democrat party buying votes by promoting class envy and warfare and creating greater dependence. There isn't a company in the world that does 3.9 trillion dollars worth of business in a year but that is what "our" President wants to spend and all that does is buy votes.
So they receive a credit dependent upon family, dependents and income. Where does it show poor people do not pay any tax.Like I said, poor people don't pay taxes...

You cannot show it, now can ya.
You asked, not thinking that it could be answered.
I answered and asked you directly "Does this qualify"?
Now you add exception.
You don't know what the Earned Income Credit is. Do you?
Its an obvious exception to the rule. Unless you can prove that Google is the norm, in the private market. Can ya?
You do not know poor do you?
You put it out there- no changes after my friend.
Thanks for playing.
I'm one of ten kids. My father was a mechanic, my mom a secretary. Want to rethink that most idiotic statement since you don't know me, anyway?
I was going by your ignorant statement on the poor.
What else would a person think.
You give me to much credit.There wasn't any change. Anyone with half a brain knows your example in no way represents the norm.
What happened was that I blew your argument out of the water and just like any Liberal, you were forced to make it personal.
The top 1% make only $717,000 annually?
****, the Vancouver Canucks don't have a player under $980,000, and if you add up the rosters of the NBA, MLB, movie stars, Hip hoppers, pro golfers, the NFL and Nascar drivers, you have few billion there.
Not that i matters. The number is just a number. Who says a football player or a movie star has to give away money because someone doesn't earn as much? They don't have the ability to score touchdowns or enthrall us with make believe. They didn't bother with an education and have to work at Mac's Milk.
So?
Oddly enough, you don't fear vesting massive power in the hands of the state even though it is states that are the historic oppressors of people. Here is a list of the Forbes 400. Tell me in what way any of those people pose a threat to you.

Why is this even an issue, who cares and how does it affect you? Great headlines that motivate and upset Obamabots but why you? Too many people spend way too much time worrying about who pays the taxes and how much they pay, why is that? Do you really believe class warfare is productive? Maybe of some of these so called poor people who are whining and complaining would get off their asses things might just improve in their own lives.
No, that's not what he said at all.
He said that "the average annual income of top percent", that doesn't imply that the top one percent starts at that point.
I've seen a figure more than double that for the average income of the 1%, I suspect that his figure is the median income for 1%ers, and not the mean income (which is closer to $1.5 million).
It's a matter of power being concentrated into a few hands, really no different from government power being concentrated in just a few individuals.
Wealth enough to live comfortably is great. Anyone who works hard and saves should be able to have a nice home, cars, vacations, etc.
But, what we're talking about is wealth in the billions being concentrated in a small percentage of people. Those people then use this wealth (or at least can use that wealth) to gain power,more wealth, therefore more power, and so on. They can ruin ordinary individuals, have much more influence than their numbers would suggest on government action.
It's not about having money. It's about power, and power corrupts regardless of its source.
For ****'s sake, Fletch... they are the ones who are indirectly governing. :roll: You think they donate gobs of cash and offer posh post-political career jobs cuz they're charitable?
