Do you know the story about the guy who lands his balloon in the middle of a huge field?
A bearded guy in a tweed jacket and chinos comes running up and yells "can I help you?"
The guy in the balloon shouts, "can you tell me where I am?"
The bearded guy yells back, "you are apparently in a balloon in the middle of what appears to be a giant field."
The guy in the balloon yells back, "you must be a PhD or nobel economist."
The bearded guy yells, "that's incredible how did you know?"
Answer: "Because what you just told me is totally accurate and totally useless.
Go and ask everyone you run into today. I don't care how old they are, whether or not they are employed, where they come from or what color their skin is:
1. Do you think the country is being run by a competent President?
2. Is Congress doing a good job?
3. Did working middle class Americans and unemployed university graduates blow up our economy?
4. Do you agree bankers should be bailed out so they can pay themselves even fatter bonuses.
5. Has Wall Street been held duly accountable for it's blatantly criminal (yes criminal) conduct? [Some think forging title documents and foreclosure pleadings is a civil but not criminal offense]
6. Do you think money is corrupting our government.
7. Is globalized crony capitalism a good thing?
8. Do you think Geithner, Summers and Bernanke were a good idea?
9. Is the tax system fair and equitable.
10. Has the financial system been reformed as needed?
11. Bernie Madoff and Raj Rajanutjob are the scourge that ruined everything.
12. Do you feel good about the future?
I'm pretty sure, unless you are Jamie Dimon, Lloyd Blankfein, the Koch Brothers or any of the Presidential candidates, except Ron Paul, it will be crystal clear what 99% or 99.99999999999% really means.
There are a handful of elite morons and political hacks who would have everyone believe that everythng is absolutely hunky dory.
The system is just swell.
Don't let a few bad apples spoil everything.
Just a few tweaks here and there and we are good to go.
They are absolutely 99.99999999999% right...
What, you don't believe me?
Is anyone who wants to be on the right side of the chart excluded? No. There are actually many who fall into the MSM definition of who the 1% are but have included themselves in the 99%. I feel very sorry for the MSM, this whole movement (if you want to call it that) is going to be a ball buster for them, try as they will, to stereotype, label, compartmentalize, homogenize and neutralize.
