If 400 people lived on your block...?
And if you drew a line and cut our nation in half...?

Those 400 people on your block would have as much wealth as the bottom half of this country combined.

There is something wrong with that picture.

But, as Michael Moore noted on Bill Maher's show last night, the top 400 wealthiest people in this country have as much wealth as 150,000,000 people!

And they have the gall to talk about "class warfare". I think our nation may need some new entrepreneurs, to make some new and improved guillotines...?

1. I keep trying to plant the idea of scale model guillotines
to be placed on roads to the private jetports those 400 scumbags use.

So far, no takers.

4. Something wrong indeeed


My understanding is 400 families own as much as 150,000,000 families. Is that right? It's what I've been telling people and most can't really wrap their heads around that concept.

They've been told there's "just no money left anywhere" like it all shriveled up and evaporated. Hell no! It's been funneled to 400 families at a rate that has choked America.

They have us all by the throats, strangling us as hard as they can.

6. boy that is one heck of a block
I wonder if those rich SOBs would pay me $500 to cut their grass.

I could clean up!!

Then again, they probably all have over 640 acres of grass.
