The 1% 11/07/2011

According to the IRS, the break for being in the upper 1% of income earners is just a bit under $344,000 per year (2009 adjusted gross income).

So, who are these people that are controlling our lives with all that money?

I found a few - let’s go after them, take their money and use it to pay off student loans, make life fair, and punish the SOBs for making their money off the backs of the working man:
