22. Most thinking people agree that the "system" is rigged.

What most of them don't realize - or don't acknowledge - is that any dumbass can win when they rig the system.

Which means that the Top 1% - the well-to-do, the über-wealthy, the richest fucking people in the history of humanity - aren't any better, or smarter, or luckier, or more blessed by God, or more deserving of govt help, than the average schmuck who's been out of work for the last year-and-a-half & whose house is being foreclosed out from under them.
