Want to see what the 1% control?

Edited on Mon Oct-17-11 08:06 PM by SomethingFishy

If the figures are accurate and I'm sure they are, the top 400 families control 1.4 trillion dollars of Americas wealth...

This photo is of $100,000,000 in cash. 100 million dollars. 1.4 trillion would be 14,000 stacks this big. Fourteen thousand

1.4 trillion... lets shrink that number by a penny.

$1,399,999,999,999.99 One trillion three hundred ninety nine billion nine hundred ninety nine million nine hundred ninety nine thousand nine hundred ninety nine and ninety nine cents.

Those poor people, whatever will they do if their taxes are raised 3%....

1. They may wake up hungry

and then have to do their morning chores surrounded by gold faucets
walk downstairs and sit down to breakfast made by their private chef
served on the finest china
or have to jet overseas to have a taste of a different culture
poor babies what would they have to give up??
