  1. Wait --we have 37 members of the House and Senate that are members of the 80%? --kick 'em out! How'd that happen!

  2. Exactly, margaret. The small, yellow section is a disgrace to the republic.

  3. I wonder how a similar chart would look in the UK? ... Anyway, I think you and Margaret are right - you need to get rid of those members, they are quite obviously total failures in life if they're not members of the 1%.

  4. Seriously? People are just figuring this out?

    Look at the distribution of lawyers and law degrees in that, and in the 1%, too. The legal profession is one of the most dysfunctional elements in our society in general (yes, I know there are good people who are lawyers, but the system of teaching and the questionable ethics of a win-at-all-costs mentality make it a serious blotch on a civilized society).

  5. Cathy, I don't know. I read somewhere that a lot of the money that circulates amongst the big banks of the world passes through the City of London for some reason. I'd imagine that the chart for the UK wouldn't be all that different.

    Seriously? People are just figuring this out?

    Mark, I doubt it. It's just that things become clearer when it's right there in front of you in green and yellow.
