Personally, I don’t plan on waiting around for a check to come in the mail from any of these individuals. Barack Obama was clearly only talking about those OTHER “1%-ers.” You know… the men and women who took some risks and worked tirelessly to build their own successful businesses – businesses that provide jobs to countless Americans.
Oh, wait! My bad! I should have listened more carefully to our current president. As he so articulately put it, “If you’ve got a business. you didn’t build that. Somebody else made that happen.”

The funny thing is, this 1% owe their success to all of the average people in the country who pay the salaries of these people through ticket purchases, votes, etc.
Posted by Gladys | July 18, 2012, 9:59 pmWow, I’m glad to know that at least these 1%ers are on my side. Not with their money, but with other peoples’ money. Thanks, guys!
Posted by Spencer | July 18, 2012, 10:46 pmOoh, I really wish I hadn’t watched all of those Spielberg movies growing up. We watched E.T. 8 times in the theater. Little did I know I was helping to bring about the biggest douche president in American history!
