Forum Post: I am part of the 1%

A point of view from the upper slopes of the 99%, just below the 1%...

I am weary of seeing my fellow humans struggling to make ends meet.

Modern "democracy" is an organized protection racket - no different to the mafia that a shopkeeper pays off in order to be able to operate.

The monetary system is obsolete. We must gather and discuss ideas for a new way of living.

I agree that the present system is an organized protection racket. It allows the MAFIA to fleece the 99% with impunity.* We are struggling to find a viable alternative.

The problem is not the 1%.... it's actually the .0000001%

You got it. The 1% will start to feel more and more under treat. The 99% is annoyed at the may many of the 1% has operated. It is also up to the members of the 1% who are honest and annoyed at the criminal behaviour of others in the 1% to join us and help us.

We particular need insider knowledge in order to prove that certain people did crimes against the 99%, including theft and fraud (telling the 99% massive lies).

I like that fact that you are humble enough to come to this website being close to achieving the 1% . Not all 1% can be bad. I believe under god all are equal , however capitalism makes some very rich and some very poor. As long as rich ensures the money circulates for everyone to survive no one complains. Now when banks stopped lending and corporations started cutting jobs, downward spiral started leading to protests of un-equal income distribution. The banks + fed + govt allowed the housing bubble to occur and protesters want to punish those responsible but are unable to. This shows democracy failed because politicians are bought out by bankers. FED is monopoly. We just need to end FED and federal debt note (todays us dollar) and create new public US Dollars that is regulated by govt. (All current debt could be exchanged for new US currency). The new public note could be backed directly by gold or similar tangible assets/collateral. Contact me for further discussion.

It starts at the top, bro. You may be a part of the 1%, but the real power is in politics. As long as politicians are fucking you like a whore, America will be the proverbial bastard child.

If you want to make a difference, make an influence upon political leaders you brush shoulders with. And if you don't brush shoulders with any political leaders, why the fuck aren't you. Be a man.

There's nothing wrong with being succesful. I don't know if the monetary system is obsolete or not, frankly it seems a useful tool for distribution of limited resources - the more expensive electricity is, the less people waste it. I'm not a revolutionary myself. All I really want is a return to Keynesian economics; the results were superior for both populations and national economies, and you can't really argue with results.

No but the Revolution can silence itself when it brings no legitimate solutions to the table/

Because that is all anyone in this movement can do. They certainly can't legitematly debate any issues.

What do you want to debate? Toshiba has been busted for warranty fraud. Don't take my word for it. Call UPS and ask if Jamie Rogers of legal has proof Toshiba used UPS' name to commit warranty fraud? They can't deny it. The number is 404-828-4900. I would tell you to ask Jamie directly, but she doesn't take calls.
