Wall Street Mocks Protesters By Drinking Champagne 2011. Billionaire Visits Occupy Wall Street. We are the 1 percent: We stand with the 99 percent. Occupy Wall Street: Thoughts from a Member of the One Percent « Venture Capital. I walked from the West Side Highway to Chinatown yesterday in the early afternoon.
I passed not one, but two marches uptown to Times Square and walked along with them for a while. New York City is in the throes of the OccupyWallStreet protests. What was most noticeable to me was not the protestors and their signs and chants; it was the amount of police accompanying them. It was a massive show of force. And it was scary to see. I’ve been thinking a lot about this movement, what it means, and what it could lead to. I spent a good part of Thursday afternoon in Zuccotti Park.
I empathize with the basic complaint of the #OWS movement – that the rich are getting richer and everyone else is getting poorer. And I’ve got issues with some of the subgroups in the #OWS movement. Our institutions are failing us. And yet, I’m an optimist. So much depends on what we get out of this growing desire for change. Les plus grosses fortunes de France ne sont pas toutes au CAC 40 ! Le triomphe des riches. On s'en doutait un peu, mais la confirmation est officielle : en France, les inégalités se creusent.
Mais elles ne se creusent pas par le bas, par l'accroissement de la part des pauvres dans la population. Elles se creusent par le haut, les riches devenant sans cesse plus riches. Les chiffres que vient de publier l'Insee dans sa publication annuelle sur « Les revenus et le patrimoine des ménages » [1] sont sans appel. Dans le bas de la pyramide sociale, la proportion des personnes vivant au-dessous du seuil de pauvreté est passée de 14,5 % à 13 % entre 1996 et 2008 (dernière année connue). Certes, le chômage n'est pas le seul déterminant de la pauvreté. Proportionnellement moins de pauvres en 2002 qu'en 1996, et, depuis, une quasi-stabilité, liée au chômage qui ne recule plus, aux retraits du marché du travail et à la proportion croissante de personnes isolées et de familles monoparentales. Dans le haut de la pyramide, c'est un paysage bien différent que l'on peut découvrir.

According to a new study, at least 249 out of Congress’ 535 members are millionaires. Annual income of richest 100 people enough to end global poverty four times over. Downloads “We can no longer pretend that the creation of wealth for a few will inevitably benefit the many – too often the reverse is true.”
Jeremy Hobbs Executive Director, Oxfam International Published: 19 January 2013 Leaders must aim to bring down global inequality at least to 1990 levels An explosion in extreme wealth and income is exacerbating inequality and hindering the world’s ability to tackle poverty, Oxfam warned today in a briefing published ahead of the World Economic Forum in Davos next week. The 1% are the very best destroyers of wealth the world has ever seen.
If wealth was the inevitable result of hard work and enterprise, every woman in Africa would be a millionaire.
The claims that the ultra-rich 1% make for themselves – that they are possessed of unique intelligence or creativity or drive – are examples of the self-attribution fallacy. This means crediting yourself with outcomes for which you weren't responsible. Many of those who are rich today got there because they were able to capture certain jobs.
