Spot The Trend: The Richest 1% Are About To Own Over Half Of Global Wealth
Below is a chronological progression of the famous Credit Suisse global wealth pyramid showing a disturbing trend. Try to spot it.
2010:
2011:
2012:
2013:
2014:
Still not clear? The following two charts should help:
In short: the rich get richer; the poor get poorer, and the middle class is going extinct.
What happens next? The NYT explains in "Oxfam Study Finds Richest 1% Is Likely to Control Half of Global Wealth by 2016"
The richest 1 percent are likely to control more than half of the globe’s total wealth by next year, the charity Oxfam reported in a study released on Monday. The warning about deepening global inequality comes just as the world’s business elite prepare to meet this week at the annual World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.
The 80 wealthiest people in the world altogether own $1.9 trillion, the report found, nearly the same amount shared by the 3.5 billion people who occupy the bottom half of the world’s income scale. (Last year, it took 85 billionaires to equal that figure.) And the richest 1 percent of the population, who number in the millions, control nearly half of the world’s total wealth, a share that is also increasing.
The type of inequality that currently characterizes the world’s economies is unlike anything seen in recent years, the report explained. “Between 2002 and 2010 the total wealth of the poorest half of the world in current U.S. dollars had been increasing more or less at the same rate as that of billionaires,” it said. “However since 2010, it has been decreasing over that time.”
“Do we really want to live in a world where the 1 percent own more than the rest of us combined?” Ms. Byanyima said. “The scale of global inequality is quite simply staggering.”
What happens after that, once the world's 99% realize that the "recovery" was nothing but the era of the most brazen middle-class destruction around the globe, one which also saw the greatest wealth transfer period from everyone else to the uber-rich in the history of mankind, covered by endless daily talk of "imminent recovery"? Think French revolution, only on a global scale, and on steroids.
Thank you Fed, and your tenured economist groupies.

Greece: The country with the second growing number of multimillionaires in Europe!
The Chosen 1%.
Why can't we just call it like it is?
please dont wake up the zombies lol
That’s OK..
.. fewer to deal with when resolution time comes.
The sad thing is that none of them seem to be enjoying themselves.
So true, I worked for someone who had over $200 Million net worth. I asked him once when we were in the car, did it make him happy. He thought for a moment and said no he wanted to be a bilionaire. Fucking bellend, I left soon after.
And not a single fuck was given.
People as uninformed and as gullible as Americans have no future. Americans are a dead people that history is about to run over. - Paul Craig Roberts
This article should really be titled, "The Richest 1% Are About To Own Over Half of Global Wealth That We Know About."
Given that the Rothschilds and Rockefellers are multi-Trillionaires, I'd say the statistics are a little off.
My guess is, the "richest 1%" own about 95% of global wealth. We'll never know exactly because that would involve trying to unpack hundreds of thousands of offshore nested holding corporations.
Slow news day huh Tyler?
Remember back in the 80s with "trickle down economics"?
All of these rich guys buying yachts and sportscars and mansions provide jobs, jobs, jobs for low income people by building their stuff up.
That global wealth is sure "trickling down", lol more like trickling up like the sucking sound that Perot warned about.
Ross was a genuine American; our country really accelerated the decline when he pulled out of the running. If he were allowed to live as POTUS, we would be enjoying a real recovery, and half the world would not want us all dead.
We had 8 years of the fat-bottomed girl lover and his bitch (we are POTUS), 8 years of the Shrub, and six years of the most worthless troll/whore/shill ever. There is no coming back after this mess. It will all be torn apart and our only chance of getting it back will be during the rebuilding if there is anyone left alive.
WW3 is next. The republicans sold us out, the democrats sold us out, the media is a joke, our legal-tender is the money/debt of slaves. I hope they are forced to watch what they did to us from the security of their well stocked fortresses we paid for. Bastards...
Whoever said money doesn't buy happiness has never been broke.
I've been broke. And I say that all the time. Richest times were the most miserable.
Parasitis Chosenitis Criminalitis. They already own 99.99999% of everything. They bought it all up with their counterfeit "Federal Reserve" notes that they printed for themselves with OUR money printing press. I hope Putin accidentally steps on a whole bunch of them.
The dupes want government and government is a wealth transfer mechanism for whomever runs it.
Congrats, morons!
People who bite the hand that feeds them usually lick the boot that kicks them.

"Banking was conceived in iniquity and was born in sin. The Bankers own the Earth. Take it away from them, but leave them the power to create deposits, and with the flick of a pen they will create enough deposits to buy it back again."
What I would really like to see is a chart that shows the percentage of the of the 1% that is either employed by the government, or has direct ties to the government. I bet it is some where around 98%.....fucking assholes.
The epicenter will be the banks with concentric circles radiating out from there.
Are you joking? They own 'the government'.
I cannot disagree.
The next time you have a power outage, look around at everyone not knowing what to do. It is like that Bruce Willis movie where everyone controls those robots.
That is what American life is today. Without the robots.
pods
SOME of us know how to cope.
Sandy was a minor blip for the prepared. Generator kept power on, more than enough gas or propane on hand to run it. Just LOVE the types whose GENERAC blew up after 2 days, who were absolutely clueless...... I love the fools paying a fortune to get a cord of wood delivered to burn in their fireplace to stay warm - when the town puts cut wood out on the curb after every storm - there for the taking, though you've got to split and store it yourself. Hell... get your chainsaw out and there's plenty free for the taking after ANY big storm.
But most people were f'in helpless, not having a clue how to cope.
Self-sufficiency used to be an American trait. Now most are a bunch of helpless wusses. Am astounded at how many kids have never even held a hammer.
They are being lulled with free shit, football, and Kardashians on TV. No pain, no change.
I had the same experience but the guy only had 40 or so. The sad thing was that he wasn't even banging his smoking hot trophy girlfriend but once or maybe twice a year. The guy ended up doubling down to try to make that 100 million and it all blew up in his face. I would feel bad for the guy but I just can't.
You know multimillionaires who are miserable.
I know this beggar who is hustling everyday at the intersection who is miserable. I know someone on welfare who is miserable. I know people on social security who are miserable. I know people who make $9 nothing an hour who are miserable. I know people who make $40,000 a year and are miserable. I know people who make six figures and are miserable. I know a business owner worth millions who is miserable.
Misery goes across all economic levels.
Personally, I'd like to give misery a try at the $200 million level...
I remember when that was enough money to buy a nuclear plant AND the Cleveland Browns.
well, miserable, is their own fault. because all the rich I have ever worked for, very many, and 2 families of billionaires, I saw that despite throwing money and staff at life, THEY COULD NOT AVOID PROBLEMS. all have problems, being miserable is something else.
Misery for a hundred mil please Alex.
"Money won't buy me happiness, but it will buy me a grand style of misery" - WC Fields
Lots of studies have shown that money only contributes to happiness to a point. Wealth is a home that's paid for, a family to share it with, and free time to do what you want. As Aristotle said, all paid work absorbes and degrades the mind.
I see a flaw in this... if you can't pay the property tax... the paid off house goes away.
"They're not buying more yachts and mansions with this money; they've already got all of those they possibly want. … That's not it. When a person has all the wealth that you could possibly want for the material pleasures of life, what is left? Power. They are using this river of wealth to acquire power over you and me and our children.
“They are spending it to acquire control over the power centers of society." G. Edward Griffin, The Creature from Jekyll Island.
That's right Btchez, y'all gonna be working for me soon!
Well.. the 7 Wallmart heirs are worth more than 40% of ALL Americans (and most haven't contributed one dime to the Walmart Foundation). They make $8million a DAY off their Walmart Stock.
But Alice is 'giving back' - she's opened a fine art musem=um in Bentonville Arkansas - allowign her to write off her art collection while half of Walmart's employees are on foodstamps.
Money doesn't buy you happiness, but at least you're miserable in comfort.
The majority of my billiomaire clients are miserable, and for all their money,
pretty helpless.
I have a brother thats worth maybe a couple of million but he always seems depressed and miserable..the wife is a perfectionist/neat freak and has 100% control. Myself am doing ok but I know this jig is about up and i KEEP reminding him of what's coming, I think he's starting to get it. Money only buys temporary pleasure.
No, fuck that, everytime I pick up a penny, I'm Happy !
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y6Sxv-sUYtM&feature=kp
I have two clients, both $50mm ^^, always treated me fair and pay me well for 30 years.
I knew someone who actually made the Forbes 400 List - was worth over a billion when he died. He gave most of it away - half before he died, half afterwards....
They guy was a bit eccentric and demanding BUT he shared with those that helped make him wealthy. He insisted that you ALWAYS leave money on the table when cutting a deal - you NEVER go for the last dime. If you let others make money with you you have friends not enemies.
He came from nothing - literally. A chicken farm. Went to an Ivy for a year - all he could afford - BUT made those contacts count. WIll admit it was 'easier to marry the first million' but worked his tail off. Started his own business - kept it going by selling off prime property he'd bought in Hilton Head. He made the Forbes list by selling off one brand he'd developed - part of tax planning. He wanted his company to survive his death. But he shared the proceeds of thre sale with EVERY EMPLOYEE based on their length of serivce. When he sold off that brand, HALF his company's business literally evaporated but nobody got laid off, nobody got fired. He also kept a bunch of people on the payroll that other companies might have discarded long ago - people who'd helped him in the past.
Oh... he also made the philanthropy list for Forbes the same year he joined the 400. That school he went to now has 30 or so students a year who have ALL costs covered through the fund he established. If you get in you can afford to go.
His own children were already worth millions (and millions.. and millions) through their mother and her family. The son was annoyed in that he wasn't left enough cash to cover the inheritance taxes due on the property he inherited from his father (the same son had tried to oust his father from the company his father had founded... he was lucky he got ANYTHING)
This guy got rich by building a company, by creating and selling products people wanted NOT by scheming to grab a piece of something someone else had already created or cheating people out of money they had earned.
Frankly, the guy seemed pretty happy about life.
what's his name? was he Jewish?
Die nazi scum!
His name was Robert Paulson.
It's NOT the 'TOP 1%' but the 'TOP 0.001%' that have a growing share of the total wealth.
The progression is exponential - those at the border of 'TOP 1%' are well off compared to the rest but not 'set for life' wealthy. If you live in a 'better' neighborhood in a place like NYC burbs or SF or LA you have a nice - but expensive to buy )with expensive taxes) house and likely work 80 hours a week. You are a hell of a lot closer to someone at the absolute BOTTOM that you are to even the top 1/2 of 1%.
Your income is measured in hundreds of thousands a year - but HALF of that goes to taxes because you're not wealthy enough to play the games that the really rich can. You pay full freight for your kid's college because you don't qualify for aid. You're a high end wage slave working 60-80 hours a week and never getting to take the vacation you're entitled to because you're on call 24/7. Your total net worth is more than likely tied up in a house and retirement funds. You're lucky if you have a few months worth of income in savings. It's a better life than most to be sure but most at the 1% border have worked damn hard to get there - and continue to work hard. Most have seen real incomes stagnate - just like everyone else. But inflation pushes you into higher tax brackets and AMT guarantees you're screwed.
Most at that 1% dividing line got there because they succeeded within the existing system - a difficult thing to do these days. They did what they were supposed to do - got a good education, worked hard and 'succeeded' in a system that is largely rigged, where connections count far more than ability and where the 'Club' at the top is still very much a restricted membership that they are not part of.
Most of those who've just made it into the 'TOP 1%' are MORE pissed about those at the top because we have more exposure to them. They're usually pains to work for and narcicissitic beyond belief. We see far more than most what's going on and are all too aware of how rigged the game is.
and please... no 'change jobs' advice... you do the best you can, where the work is and do as well as you can while you can.... it's better than putting up with the same crap for 1/10 the income... you give your kids better opportunities and estabish a base for them.
Very, very, very soon in the future these Pure Evil Psychopaths know for a FACT that Pyamid is going to be turned upside down.
And, when it does The Global Crimial Oligarch Cabal Banksrer Intelligence Crime Syndicate is going to be obliviated off the face of this earth. Then, & only then wil World Peace, Freedom, Liiberty & free trade / open markets prevail. Not sooner
The Purge must occur first.
Which won't help much for long, as most peoples' goal is to become one of the 1% themselves.
you missed the article on -- the great singularity.
My only hope is that I live to see that day. I am afraid of how much power they already have and continue to gain though. Pretty soon, everyone will all be Palestinians
"We're all Palestinians now."
-Kenneth Bainbridge
yes but typing 1% is easier
set for life wealthyis a reletive term... you could be set for life on 30k/yr of passive income... a lot of it depends on just how extravagantly you live your life and if your trying to grow your wealth rather than just trying to look wealthy.
WHATEVER your income is, if you manage to live below your means you'll do fine. See it all the time in suburbia - people leasing high ned cars to show off - in big houses without any furniture....
Buy a fixer-upper in the best neighborhood you can find (there ARE advantages) and do the work yourself. BUY a car and drive it into the ground. You'll do far better than the poseurs who lose everythign when one gets laid off. The guy who owned the local oil company said it 25 years back... all thes couples with the Jag and Mercedes in the big house... one loses their job and the Jag goes.. the second loses their job and the other car goes followed in short order by the house.... Have been SHOCKED at all the friends of my kids whose parents have saved NOTHING for college - whose kids ended up in state schools and even that was a stretch.
"The Chosen 1%."
You mean as in "Self-Chosen, Self-Dealing"?
The lesson here is, a tiny minority cannot steal from you or enslave you, unless you LET them. Clearly this is being played out in the mind, and the antidote and cure it there also.
Unfortunately, this lesson in lost on 90% of libertarians/Libertarians, who seem to have a DNA-based or Pavlovian-trained predisposition against doing the same thing. In their worldview of wishful thinking and romantic self-delusion, they have elevated the Lone-Wolf, Frontier Mentality into a quasi-religion, that only plays into the hands TPTB: pompous and self-isolated zealots are always preferable over organized ones.
What all freedom-loving people need to think, do or acquire is...
1. Top-Shelf Education for self and Family
2. Mindset of: "What's in it for me? And what's in it for my People?"
And then act accordingly: favoring, promoting and buying from own People.
3. Having a cohesive, closely knit group of 5-30 million People that you define as "Our People".
4. A vision and plan for a Homeland for you People, that is trans-generational, uncompromising and relentless.
5. Strong work ethic, and passion for Excellence in all things.
6. Avoid all Vice that weakens a person or the Group.
7. Quid Pro Quo (This For That, Value for Value) in all dealings -- be they in business or social policy. No bleeding-heart BS allowed. Let some other fool "turn the other cheek".
8. Control you borders and immigration.
9. Control your currency and debt.
10. Avoid foreign military entanglements. Let another Sovereign run interference: fight, bleed and die for you.
Everyone can complain about the rich being rich or they can ask themselves how it is that they can get rich too. Think about this:
The rich get rich because they know how to.
They don't owe anyone anything because they're rich or have more.
Mass weath-transfer from rich to poor never works. It puts wealth in the hands of the politicians/oligarchs/whatever. It never, ever helps the poor. Handouts do not teach people how to work hard and save money and make that money make money. It merely makes a poor class of Obama voters.
If you take the wealth away from the rich and give it to the poor, the poor will lose it all like they always do and the rich will make it all back. That's why there are rich and poor.
Becoming rich is not something you're blessed with. It takes goal-setting, hard work, planning, and persistence. Sure, some rich inherited and some stole it one way or another. But if you want to get rich, follow what it is the rich are doing. Sitting around and complaining about it gets you nowhere.
Let's stop this class warfare and wealth warfare nonsense. These boards would be better off with people exchanging ideas on how to double their incomes, save money, fight the taxman, and make good investments.
The more centralized governments are empowered to tax, print, and inflate, the more of it they will keep for themselves as has been the case since the dawn of mankind, regardless of how the technology for doing so has advanced.
Being rich is not something you're blessed with? Maybe not for some people, but it sure is for the House of Windsor or the Hilton offspring...
I don't want wealth transfer either, so let's all stop everyone from doing it first instead of lecturing us about how we should stop complaining, 'kay?
That's not real wealth.
This is real wealth: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yloaBw80fV4
If anyone hasn't realized yet, democracy is a failure just as was known over 2000 years ago.
atleast under monarchs, they were our monarchs, now we have international bankers and fins that want to take all the wealth and rule over a massive dumb brown servant class.
thats why the founders created a constitutional republic with 3 branches. the royals of europe destroyed that.
Nah, by the time it fails it never looks like democracy anymore...
The sickest fucking part is the "wealth" of the 99% is actually calculated using Skittle Unicorn Shitting Valuations on their McMansions, 401Ks, and the suv's which are worth 1/10 of what is reported on their financial statements. We're fucked.
Even if you HAVE managed to accumulate any wealth the system is rigged against you.... They WILL manage to steal it.
Most people are clueless when it comes to money - and they naively trust 'experts'. My brother had over a half million in a 401K account when his Fortune 500 employer sold the plant he worked in - a retirement fund for 30+ years of labor. It was ALL in the company stock - which promptly took a dive. Seeking (too late) to 'diversify' he got talked into ONE fund (probably paying the sellers a nice percentage) which itself then dropped like a rock. So for 30+ years of work his $500,000 turned into less than $200,000 in a couple of months. He's working in the same plant - under new management - for less than he used to make, with worse benefits, still on shift work......
Just about all of the retirement plans the government gets behind are rigged against you!
with 401k, even if it is worth a lot when you retire, inflation and taxes eat up eat up a lot of it.... the only one's really making money off them are the fund managers.... and your locked into a limit number of options that in the end are all close to the same.
QE.
The top (0.00)1%: making "redistribution" more approachable daily (heck, we may not even need two guillotines).
New trend.
Billionaires hung per day. See if you can spot one in your city.(hint:check the lamposts)
Too Italian. ;)
I was thinking scaphised between their yachts, as a nod to symbolism with webcam service available for a small fee for those interested in watching the slow and steady progress of the torture.
you mean they would make good fenders?
He means that they really like milk and honey, so we should give them as much as we can.
Ebola canaries...Picher OK clean-up crew...it's a brave new world.
Seeing Dimon, Cash'n'Carry, Pandit and the rest consigned to a Florida tomatoe farm for a hard season of picking would be gratifying too. I don't want them to live not knowing what real work was like.
Yes, don't just put them in a cage, put them in a cage so that they're on display while they have to do those things. Put them in a zoo where they have to grow their own food, spin their own thread and build their own fires, and let the world watch.
May not be as exciting as you think. Their egomania would have them all trading derivatives denominated in shells right up until they starved to death like to true cokewhores they are.
I don't care about excitement. I care about humiliation. If they were to die while clucking for cocaine, it would be their decision that they get to carry out under the eye of the public.
No, they'd have great forward-looking statements right up to the end.
Truth be told, they could go all Ginsberg during quarterly statements, "Best thief of my generation. Forced to repo for a quick fix."
Holy fuck!

Now we're getting somewhere! Good times for mad scientists ahead!
:D
So what? They worked for it and deserve it. I'm tired of all the NAZI talk about the Jewish people here on this site. It needs to stop. Anti-semitism isn't an opionion, it's hate speech and a crime.
While you're at it, stand up and give a shout-out to the Saudi Royals.
nice post change you tard
That's like saying someone who stole your car "worked for it", shitwit.
Most inherited this wealth, which I dont really consider 'hard work'. And those who did earn it all likely did so through investments. A tip of my hat to them for doing well, but again, hardly 'hard work'. As if they have fucking callouses on their fingers from all that BTFDing
Put yourself in their shoes and you'll find out what hard work is all about. They earned every penny. You middle class folks don't know the meaning of hard work. Banking is hard and stressful work. I just retired from a large investment banking firm and I know what I'm talking about.
Troll on brother.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d9jxcaG88nM
You need some original material.
MDB already perfected that shtick.wow.....guess it wasn't sarcasm. That IS scary. I do suppose you are correct about the stresses of being a leech and making a living, quite a good living, skimming money off the top of everyone elses hard work and producing nothing probably is quite stressful.
it's HARD work holding on to your job with all the scheming SOB's out to take it from you.....Wall Street is a Darwinian Jungle - simply holding on to your place on the ladder is a full time chore.......
show some pity for the poor bastard..... send him to the front of the line for the guillotine so eh won't suffer while waiting.
Never met ANYONE in the upper echelons on Wall Street who had anythign resembling morals or ethics - they ALL would sell their daughter for the right price
Holy crap! The Anti-Christ just joined ZH!
It does not appear that the jews rule themselves. The israelis I mean. I think they will be betrayed. Allowing them to think they are on a team is working, but when your ultimate rulers are the same bad guys with the long term plan, better know who rules you and are you safe.
Most criminals do suffer from job-related stress.
Try some advanced neck-stretching exercises...you'll want it limber for looking over your shoulder for the remainder of your pathetic life.
LOL!!
A contender for MillionDollarBonus' job as ruling satirist?
Tell me about your 80 hour weeks. Fuck you leech! Your entire life's work is just a big drain on society. You produced nothing and "made" only a mess.
"You got city hands Mr. Hooper. You been counting money all your life."
"Most inherited this wealth"
Wrong. http://www.forbes.com/sites/afontevecchia/2014/10/03/there-are-more-self...
There Are More Self-Made Billionaires In The Forbes 400 Than Ever Before"While our self-made scores aren’t a perfect measure, they do shine a light on an interesting story: more and more, the richest people in the country have worked hard, in an incredibly difficult context, to earn a spot in the Forbes 400. And while it is a known fact that the wealthiest have amassed a greater proportion of the nation’s output than the rest, the self-made scores demonstrate social mobility is indeed possible."
According to your logic einstein wasn't a hard worker either. No callouses from all those thought experiments...
Conceded: Becoming a winning psychopath is a completely consuming occupation.
But look at the prize! My corporate facade pays for the G5 kept parked and always ready to answer my whims. I buy and sell people, too, btw . . . men, women, children, it doesn't really matter. Value is all that counts. Hell, I now effectively rule nations--and show a large net positive return.
And all those Olympic athletes get is a lousy fucking medal.
Exactly right. And he wasn't a billionaire either. People in the 1950's accomplished great feats and produced amazing results for modest amounts of money. Not the winner take fucking every fucking thing attitude of the 21st century.
6 days and 48 minutes. Nice trolling.
Says who? You? Who are you? What are your credentials? Hubris much?
it is called free speech with charlie. what is good for the nuslims and christians is good for the jews. its just satire, sarcasm and slapstick fun. a jew getting fucked by a pig is funny. don't you get it?
Wrong. Anti-semitism and criticism of Israel and the Jewish people is forbidden in many countries. That's the way it is and that's the way it should be. The first amendment doesn't cover anti-semitism just like the second amendment doesn't cover assault weapons and those huge clips that hold more bullets than anyone except the police or military would ever need.
troll
Methinks you're trolling. But you're doing it well in fairness!
Does the first amendment cover Anti-Christian speak? Just checking. I am pretty sure all speech is alright unless inciting to cause harm. As for the second amendment, it preserves the right for citizens to be armed with the most modern of arms. Which at the time of writing, was a musket or cannon. Please provide evidence to support your claim. Also, they are magazines, not clips. Unless we are talking M1 Garand.
Why do the police need more bullets than the Militia (citizens)? When you figure out the real reason for the Second Amendment, you will know...
You forgot the /sarc tag. You are new to the site, so that is understandable............
@CompassionateCo - There's really no such thiing as "Anti-Semitism", "homophobia" or "Islamophobia" at least among 99% of most populations these days. These are all terms that were invented by the lefty marxists in the media and academia to shame regular folks from askng questions or having opinions contrary to their far left radical views.
And to say it's "hate speech and a crime" is deplorable in a democracy. Free speech still exists thank God...despite peole like you who want it banned.
"Free speech still exists."
Could have fooled me. Try saying something naughty at work about one of the protected minorities and see how fast the pink slip arrives. And if there's free speech how come everything we see and hear in the media is like it's all choreographed to be fully on message?
Free speech is not a guarantee of no repercussions, just that you wont be arrested for it. Yes, you may lose your job, but you wont go to jail. Yet...
Free speech is not a guarantee of no repercussions, just that you wont be arrested for it. Yes, you may lose your job, but you wont go to jail. Yet...
Tell them to stop pushing for more wars, stop sucking up all the world's wealth and quit crushing Western culture and then maybe we'll knock it off.
Quit being an anti-semite. European people need to pay for the Holocaust.
HERE WE GO - THERE IT IS. Now we know........
Reparations......
The 300,000 Jews who died during WWII was a tragedy, for sure.
That was like, slightly more than one percent of all the Jews worldwide. Wow.
Just wow.
One day you will be sent to prison for comments like that whether it is the truth or not. In countries like France you'd be headed there now. You can't question the Holocaust. It's not free speech to do so and the first amendment doesn't apply.
In the USA I can still speak the truth.
The holocaust is a scam, a hoax, a fraud. All the stories are fake, especially the silly gas chamber nonsense. I mean, no one believes that fairy tale any longer.
Although everyone knows the holocaust didn't occur, nearly everyone is afraid of saying it because of a fear of jail, loss of job, fines, etc. Even YOU know it's all a big lie.
What difference does it make? It's a hoax but it's still a crime to say so. We make the laws and there's nothing you people are going to do about it. Your stupid bill of rights is on it's last leg. Criminalizing it in Europe was first and the US is next. All it takes is the right decision by the supreme court.
Yup, a contending satirist. Love the voice, CC!
Good shit.
You're playing like Little Red Riding Hood in a porno where she's actually older and very hot.
Hilarious.
Die in a fire you nazi cunt.
Compassionate is right on this one. VDare has a post on it....
WW II exterminated something like 6-10M Jews, not 300K. Historical facts are not a matter of opinion.
And 20-30 million Russians......but I guess some are more equal than others.
Dang, another double post!
Speaking personally I've never said anything derogatory about Jews. But if it's anti-semitism to question their bizarre over-representation at the commanding heights of the political, academic, finance and media arenas, to what purpose they apply this power and its impact on the rest of us then yes, call me an anti-semite.
Nazis everywhere on this site wtf? You are all idiots!
Hey baby-trollface, get the fuck outta here before teh Bears eat you.
money-lending isn't work; it's being a parasite
Remember, people, these are superior individuals and familes and deserve everything they get.

Inbreeding makes them better.
As I say, it never was the boogey men of communism, socialism, blah blah. NO! Its always been about Monopolization. of everything. the 1% will have us ALL living like W Va Coal Miners in the 1900's. Work in their mines, live in their homes, shop in their stores. SLAVERY. 1984 is already here, it just looks a bit different than Orwell described. and Big Brother? NOT the boogeyman of state, the state is just a tool for the Plutocrats.
and that was ALWAYS INEVITABLE

"I dunno, Jethro, d'you think I should spend the extra scrip for the clean water this time?"
Wealth is a rural garden, the ability to susist, stay warm, stay safe and healthy and not lose one's sense of humor. That's real wealth.
In reflective quiet moments, can you really call it "wealth" if one sold their soul to get where they are?
Happiness is being able to pull off wearing a Magnum. :)
Yeah, I know what you mean. They're kinda tight but they fit.
"In short: the rich get richer; the poor get poorer"
Wrong. The wealth of the bottom part of the pyramid is clearly growing.
Bottom part 2010: $3,038M
Bottom part 2014: $3,282M
Inflation? ;-P
More people stuck at bottom of the pyramid?
You do realize you are looking at population?
And, yes, it is right:
Bottom part 2010: 4.2% of global wealth
Bottom part 2014: 2.9% of global wealth.
Yes, the trickle down economics does work. muahahaha
Actually, this is inevitable. If a central people get to print money, they of course will grow richer while everyone else is poorer. If I'm in a village and there is 100 monetary units in circulation and I print 1,000,000, I suddenly own everything. Basically, that is what is going on very slowly so the frog, you, doesn't realize he is being boiled. Clearly, you want to be boiled at this point.
Obama gonna help us out from his stash yo!
Just an accident, I'm sure.
Well, is backfiring on them now, since the middle class cannot fulfill their plutocrat appointed role as consumers/investment capitalization engines. OK, you can have your one world government, but the middle class gets a generous monthly allowance on top of any salary from employment...balance of power and all that. OR the whole system keeps bumping into the wall of mathematical impossibility.
Time to change math. The math according to Keynes ....
keep paying ur taxes to the MoneyChangers...
and by all means vote.
Fuck all central bankers.
Fuck all their bed buddies and prostitutes in political establishment.
Fuck the relentless greedy and "I can never ever get enough" 0.01%.
Fuck the dumb, ignorant, lazy, fat, brainless, short memoried 99.99% which let it happen.
Since Stonage.
I have only 1 or so in a million who is NOT guilty.
As everybody else belongs to the 0.01% or the 99.99% - both of which just blow hot air all the time.
The chart is rigged!!! If you plot a real pyramid graph of 0.7%, it is a single pixel!!! Those scumbags try to make the rich population doesn't look as extreme as it is.
Agreed that 0.7% owning so much of the world is insane. Not good for everybody else's health.
But the chart is modeled to a pyramid and, just eyeballing it, I see pretty good correspondence between the defined regions as geometric areas. It looks like a good fit to me. I haven't done any math, but . . . am I missing something here?
Tomorrow night our Presidente will explain how feeding the government via increased taxation will re-create the middle class -- HIS agenda for his remaining years in office, while his personal quest (unspoken) is to climb into that 1% the quickest way possible and get the hell out of Dodge. The bizarro world continues to turn.
It would certainly help if people would quit trying to spend money they don't have.
Ahhh yes. Money you don't have. We call it credit for some reason. Obviously they wouldn't want to call it debt so lawyers do what they love to do and make up new terms. The term "under-stand" for example. (Thumbs up for people who know what the "under-stand" really means by the way) And you have to have credit (debt) to get even more credit (debt). And without credit (debt) you will get nothing! So says the all powerful banksters! All your moneys are belong to us...
To look up from below and assess the situation.
Good to see that at least the point one per cent of the population has recovered from the GFC.
Or did they cause the GFC?
Here's what they look like and what they spend it on(or at least what their spoiled offspring spend it on)
The rich kids of Instagram are everything wrong with the world, amplifiedDamn it's good to be a bankster...
