The rich are the one minority group it will ALWAYS be ok to demonize and blame problems on.

Sad but true.

Uh, what? I'd say this is about 100x more true for foreigners, to begin with.

How much do they give to charity?

Another fact: 100% of the them made their millions exploiting proles.

I'm a capitalist, but I don't read the chart in quite the same way others here are. I see that more people stay in their quintile group than move to any other group. And that this is most pronounced for the poorest and richest quintiles.

[/ QUOTE ]

Over a very tiny section of time...

[/ QUOTE ]

Do you have data suggesting it is different over a larger amount of time? I'm curious.

[/ QUOTE ]

The data given shows it. If it's 50% over 20 years it's gonna be like 25% over 40 years. This is pretty simple. Admittedly, I'm way over simplifying it, but it's certainly going to keep on going.

[/ QUOTE ]

Unwarranted assumption of random distribution FTW.

Even a semi-intelligent socialist will tell you this is a dumb statement.
