Boards Archive] |
Welcome to the Vault Network
forum archive.
This is not a complete archive, time didn't allot us the
opportunity to properly backup the majority of the boards
deemed "expendable". Most boards on this list have at least
20-40 pages archived (non-logged in pages, 15 topics per
page).
Popular boards may have as many as 250 pages archived at 50
topics per page, while others deemed of historical
signifigance may be archived in their entirety.
We may not agree with how the board shutdown was managed, but
we've done what we could to preserve some of its history in
lieu of that.
Please enjoy the archive.

The political and media propaganda classes who have wrecked the nation through being paid agents are the 1% that bothers me.

Just another corporate media outlet spreading misinformation on the subject. Last one I read stated that you only needed 34k/family member to be in the top 1% globally... Tried to make it look like people who earned 34k were in the top 1%. It was really $136k/houshold, 68k/parent. They included children to make the wage look lower. Now this links people into homes of the 1% in the US by marriage. There are so many teachers, their pay is more often less than the 68k/year needed for global 1% and no where near american 1%. But because there are so many teachers, they get lopped in when by chance one marries someone wealthier.

Ideology is not reality. To make good policy, one must consider all ideologies and decide which best solves the reality of the situation. Ideology is afterall, JUST AN IDEA.

basically that chart says any type of job that required some sort of training is in the 1 percent i would call that false. BTW it seems to me if that graph were true that still wouldnt address the 1 percent people are bitching about. The 1 percent are the bankers and ceo of the world who started a class warfare campaign against the middle class the same 1 percent who buy off the politicians and make it sound like they are under attack.

"School teachers don't earn enough to make the top 1 percent on their own, but many live in 1-percent households, primarily through marriage." the chart is actually the 1% and their gold-digging spouses!

Whatever helps you sleep at night. Whatever helps you believe that there really are people in control of everything. That existence is merely part of some elaborate plan, not just happenstance and the results of 7 billion people going about their lives. Whatever gives you soothing relief that it's all under control and there really is an end game for humanity. Zionists are your security blanket. Truly, you are the ONLY one who sees it. The only enlightened person who can make sense of it all. And what do you do with your potentially massive influence? Encourage people to "think for themselves", as long as it's what you believe.

When you think for yourself, the end result is seeing the light which is exactly what enlightened people like Aerlinthian have done. The rest of us have blinders on, but one by one, we too will see the light...or we go down in flames due to our stupidity.

The sad truth is that the vast majority of our government is too stupid and greedy to support any lengthy conspiracy.

While I agree teachers are getting in through marriage, some teachers make good money, like tenured college professors at top schools.

The 1%er movement wasn't about household income, it was about job income. The article is just hard facts, and likely no intention for bias. People live in households and thus statistics on households is interesting to readers. What I don't understand is why they give an actual number in thousands for the household figure, but a % for job income. The % is a much more relevant figure. What the display does not show at all, however, is the actual income breakdown between all the 1%ers. I.E. Yes there are more physicians/managers than CEOs in the top 1%, yet the CEOs could even trump the income of physicians/managers combined.

Exactly why I don't believe in *most* of them. The SAME group of people who pulled off 9/11 sat in front of the world and fumbled around outdated photographs and vials of bull**** for Iraq? Those brilliant, flawless executors of demolitions in downtown New York City couldn't even make a halfway decent case for invading Iraq? Really?

We invaded Iraq with support from Democrats and Republicans, tons of money floated around, contractors got paid, Bush had 2 terms... Must I go on?

Only if you're going to address the ramifications for Colin Powell, Donald Rumsfeld, control of the US House and Senate, Tony Blair, the office of the Vice President, and the office of the Secretary of State. Just because we went in anyways doesn't mean that a sound case was ever made and the careers of people (and images of US political offices) involved weren't irreparably tarnished.

What ramifications? Powell and Rumsfeld weren't imprisoned. Nobody of note was. Bush served two full terms as did Cheney, and neither have shown regret for their actions. If there was a conspiracy, any other fallout wouldn't have been their concern anyways. That doesn't sound like incompetence to me. Even Obama decided to look the other way the moment he was elected.
