I don't know if all three are in the top 1%, but they are close, and have been the most critical.

I don't know if all three are in the top 1%, but they are close, and have been the most critical.
Romney (Oct. 4, 2011) - "I think it's dangerous, this class warfare," Romney said to an audience of about 50 people in response to a question about the protests over such issues as high unemployment, home foreclosures and the 2008 corporate bailouts.

Trump (Oct. 4, 2011) - “I think they’re very well-dressed,” he quipped, marveling one of the protesters “beautiful suits.” “Nobody knows why they’re protesting, but they’re having a good time,” he insisted.

Cain (Oct. 5, 2011) - "I don't have facts to back this up, but I happen to believe that these demonstrations are planned and orchestrated to distract from the failed policies of the Obama administration. Don't blame Wall Street, don't blame the big banks, if you don't have a job and you're not rich, blame yourself! ... It is not a person's fault if they succeeded, it is a person's fault if they failed."

5. DNC . . . they just HANDED you soundbites on a Silver PLATTER.
If you don't use them, BLAME YOURSELVES!!! :rofl:

Mittens, like a neutered dog, really does not get it, does he?

"Corporations are people too, my friends!"

"This is dangerous, this class warfare."

It's really Mount Everest-level amazing that they still don't see the connection between a broken middle/working/poor class and voter frustration with their economic policies that caused it.

If anyone should be "blaming themselves", it's these three worthless cowpiles.

This is the mess YOUR KIND created, stupids.

8. It would be a great debate question ... "Are you in the top 1%?"
For either ... Net-worth, or yearly income?
