But here's the best part... If the top 1% was to die instantly for some reason, they would instantly be replaced by the next top 1%.
I was driving down the street last night at about 7pm, and I noticed most of the garages were open. Nearly every garage had a "weekend" car under a car cover, or some kind of hot rod or project. One garage had a beautiful old Mustang and then a huge fucking Harley. Every driveway had at least two cars in the driveway, and parking on the street was full. Us fucking Americans live like kings, we just don't know it.

You're talking about all the shit in peoples garage and you don't think you are living and breathing in a damn bubble? The fact that they have a garage is saying something.
And yes, stats and figures are amusing if facts make you laugh. Your idea of the rich spending money making this economy work is just blatantly incorrect. That is the Republican myth that has been perpetuated for the last 30 years and it is just not how shit works. It's wrong in so many ways that books have been written to prove as much.
