11. Even for the 1 Percent

Tue Jul 14, 2015, 06:08 AM

Jul 2015

There are three basic ways a 1 Percenter becomes, and more importantly (to them, at least) stays, a 1 Percenter.

He or she can get into the "hand money back and forth" game that is jokingly called investing.

He or she can manufacture and/or import goods for the 99 Percent to buy, or manufacture process equipment to be used in consumer goods manufacture.

Or he or she can sell goods and services to the 99 Percent. (Shrubism debunked: he wasn't saying "gooder service," he was saying "good or service." However, it IS funnier the other way... Shrub's handlers should have had him say "product or service.&quot

If the 99 Percent collapses, the 1 Percent will soon follow.
