Data Point: Amount of Assets to be Wealthy in the US?

Interesting infographic and table, courtesy of Visual Capitalist.  We heared (or more correctly, heard a lot during the Occupy Wall Street movement – seems like eons ago) all about the vaunted (and hated) “1%”.  Democrat Socialist Bernie Sanders is still going after them – even as he is now one of them with an estimated … Read more

Data Point: How to “correct” the Income Inequality between the US and the rest of the world?

After all, when you consider the basis point of not just “99% vs the 1%” in the US (as the Marxist / SJWs complain, who want to use Government to “equalize” everyone and thing) but instead, judge the world against the US, we ARE the 1% of the world and the rest of the world hates it and thinks, like American SJWs, that we “stole” all that wealth.

Their aim is woefully off, as anyone with some knowledge of Austrian economic theory and historical analysis can explain. But they’ve never read an Austrian School economist, such as Ludwig Von Mises (pronounced MEE-zezz)—or reject that school of thought as extremely dangerous to their interests—with the Ruling Class attitude expressed above. LOL.

But don’t get me wrong! There is an “evil 1%”! And their rapaciousness and oppression must be confronted and dealt with. That much is true. But…

Well, Elizabeth Warren, you wrote your own rule book…..

And as Saul Alinsky advised, we’re just holding you to it.  ‘Magine that, the person who wrote the intellectual foundation for Occupy Wall Street, and showed her take on that philosophy (“Warrenism“), is now reaching out to members of that 1% – “please sirs, may I have some more (for my campaign)?”. Consistency – the … Read more
