You can travel the world, live anywhere and have any house you want, and live your dreams and have anything you ever wanted.

The ONLY exception is that you can no longer support this movement.

Would you do it?

I would buy a yellow submarine and explore the Marinara Trench with my pet chimpanzee Bubbles and eat hot fudge ice cream sundaes for breakfast and FedEx crates of Twinkies to those pathetic, lazy, smelly 99ers in the park. It would be grand I tell you!

Gawd, fuck no! I like my sanity. It wouldn't be me to be an arrogant snobbish sociopathic prick with no soul and only the love of money.

I don't define the 1% by income. 1% buys their representation in government, 99% are left with the scraps. Its about government corruption and having unfair influence. Not wealth.

If I had that kind of wealth, yes, I would travel the world, to start with.
After that, who knows?! I'd have to allow myself to day dream on it longer.

Would I use it for government corrpution? No.

Well, lets just say that all of us 99ers are in the 1% globally since most of the world survives on $2 a day.

99% of those who say no are lying.

Money will never buy love or happiness. It buys a lot of misery, though.

I would bet my entire salary that as a collective whole, the 1% are happier than the group down at OWS. Money may not buy happiness all by itself but it certainly is a step in the right direction.
