(345 posts)47. I'm tryin' to remember my third grade math.
Let's see, I'll get me a paper towel, a dull lead pencil, and do me some cypherin'. Okay, we've got the 99% broken up into 52% women and 47% men. Sounds about right so far. Now the, let's add the entire 1% of the rich folks to the 47% men, without regard to the fact that some of the 1% are women. Okay, 47 plus 1 equals...48. Well, it looks like to me that 48% is still smaller than 52%.
hfojvt, you'd better go brush up on your math. The 1% and the 48% better damn well fear this fight because if most of the 52% are like my Texas wife and my momma, hell or high water won't deter them. I'm on their side and I'm a bit nervous about gettin' caught in the crossfire myself.
K & R!

if one is going to be a troll, one's first post should probably NOT be so obvious.
