You have any numbers? I need to call one of them and ask them I help me out. I need to borrow about 3.50

I don't believe the bottom 50pc 'control' anything the way the billionaires do. They can barely pay their bills. Billionaire money is all 'funny money' and very discretionary.

Man mag den „Produzenten“ jener Regeln, die zu diesem Ungleichgewicht geführt haben, zugute halten, dass sie die Tragweite ihres Handelns seinerzeit nicht überblickt haben. Aber jetzt tun sie so als ob das Naturgesetze seien, die sie formuliert haben, und deshalb auch Moral damit nichts zu tun habe

“The liberty of a democracy is not safe if the people tolerated the growth of private power to a point where it becomes stronger than the democratic state itself. That in its essence is fascism: ownership of government by an individual, by a group, or any controlling private power.” FDR
