Attention Occupiers: You Are The World's Top 1%

From fool.com -The recent Occupy Wall Street protests have aimed their message at the income disparity between the 1% richest Americans and the rest of the country. But what happens when you expand that and look at the 1% richest of the entire world? Some really interesting numbers emerge. If there were a global Occupy Wall Street protest, people as well off as Linda Frakes might actually be the target.  In America, the top 1% earn more than $380,000 per year. We are, however, among the richest nations on Earth. How much do you need to earn to be among the top 1% of the world? $34,000.  More News New Mexico

The reason why this OWS protest has failed to articulate a message is comically obvious. The intellect of it's organizers was remiss in doing their due diligence in researching the demographics of their whining. Their desire was to include everyone on planet Earth. Naturally, it never dawned on these morons that THEY ARE members of the top 1% in income earners on the Earth. The existence of these kinds of facts has most of watching with great curiosity, scratching our heads, asking again, "what's the message?", and then laughing at these fools.
