"The 1%" Concept False and Misguided

The 1% concept is nothing but a big farce, purposely created to bring about class warfare. In the ancient empires, monarchies, dictatorships, communist and socialist states, theocracies, Islamic states, as well as in democracies, there have ALWAYS been a small percentage who are most wealthy and have the greatest power and influence in the country. It is a given certainty no matter what the form of government and has been the case throughout history. There is always a small percentage who are most wealthy and powerful.

To single out a democracy, such as the United States, and to attack those who have success in life is not only dead wrong, but misdirected. Those who attack the so called 1% and want to do away with capitalism and our great democracy need to study some of the brutal regimes that have resulted when democracies and freedoms have been done away with in favor of some form of pseudo idyllic government that turns out to be just the opposite, being very repressive to the people.

This whole 1% issue is a false one and not well thought through by those that go to the streets, by the media, and by those in government who align themselves with it.

No matter what form of government, there will always be a small percentage who have the most wealth and power. Yet, of all forms of government, a democracy offers the people, whatever their status in life, not only a voice in their government, but the opportunity to succeed and become wealthy and gain positions of influence, like no other.
