Come visit Chicago this weekend and jump your butt off. Temperatures forecast in low 30s, you'll love it, Georgia Boy.

60's here....why don't you come down to the POPs record March the 15th, fly that nice plane down. You come, you got a slot. ;)



Where? How many? I may possibly do that, but I also have an invitation to the USAF Museum at Wright Patterson that weekend.

Do we agree that the 1% are the robbers?



Yes, but lets not stop at the United States. If we look globally, 100% of the United States is in the top 1% of the world. Lets bring the elitist USA to its knees. I'm sure we can all agree to that.



No, 100% of the US is not in the top 1%. About 1% of the US is in the top 1%.

The rise in income inequality is due more to changes at the top of the income distribution than at the bottom. While income for all Americans grew 25 percent from 1996 to 2006, it grew 74 percent for the top 1 percent and 96 percent for the top 0.1 percent. A large part of this was again driven by continuous cuts to income and capital gains taxes.

In short, the affluent have been keeping more and more of their income while ordinary Americans have faced stagnant wages and disappearing benefits.
