As long as the 1% doesn't include Steve Jobs.
- titanomachy 12y agoI don't think the message is that those 1% of people are themselves a problem, more that it's a problem that wealth is distributed as inequitably as it is.
- sparkzilla 12y agoIt's still the same argument. I didn't see Steve Jobs offering to pay extra taxes. And I don't see the Occupy crowd complaining about Jobs. Or Soros for that matter (who financed the Occupy movement). OTOH the Koch brothers and any republican 1%ers seem to be fair game. It seems some billionaires are more equal than others.
