In 2001, served the same leaders for more than 531 times the average wage earner. Perhaps the most startling statistic is this: From 1980 to 2005, over 80 percent of the total increase went to the richest 1 percent. |

I don't have a single cent to my name ... You don't see me bitching incessantly - ''poor me'', but I laugh at you all; entrapped by your material gains - which haven't made you better people - I know, by the way =you= look at people like myself. you think it is me that you hate, when it is really your very own self. keep on living above your means, with luxuries you need not. let the rothschilds gain the whole world and lose their very own soul. we'll see who the meek are who inherit the earth when it is all said and done. |

I work 30 hours a week at the most. I have all I could ever need or want. My monthly bills are $560 for EVERYTHING. I have no credit cards, and what debt I do have I just decided not to pay. It'll fall off eventually in a few years. It's all about what you choose and how you choose to live. America offers more abundance than anywhere else, except maybe the Cook Islands (there's so much food there you don't even have to work). |
