1. Ouch

[annabanana]

2. It sure as hell puts things in perspective.. . . n/t

[bicentennial_baby]

4. Exactly

:hi:

[LSparkle]

10. Agreed ... at a time when I'm afraid of bouncing checks and feeling like a loser

That helps remind me that "there will always be greater
and lesser persons than yourself."

Thanks for the "gratitude check"!

3. I've dropped from 42,000,000 to 155,000,000 in the last 7 years

dammit :cry:

[DS1]

5. site is fubar, can't go over 107,565

[bicentennial_baby]

8. That's odd...maybe they stop at the top 0.001%

:shrug:

[PunkinPi]

[A HERETIC I AM]

6. wow....

we are so damn fortunate in this country. I will shut the hell up now.

[jaysunb]

7. WOW ! Wait till my wife hears how rich we are.

31,849,353 th richest person in the world ! in the TOP 0.53%

Funny...I don't feel very rich. :evilgrin:

[realisticphish]

9. interesting

though of course cost of living doesn't go into that equation. But, all that aside, it still pays to remind ourselves that we are a fortunate few that can afford to sit here and post on DU, instead of living in squalor

12. Geez

According to this, I am the 107,565th richest person in the world.

You're in the TOP 0.001%
richest people in the world!

I still wouldn't receive any positive benefit from John McCain's tax proposals for the rich.

[blondeatlast]

13. Whoah.

:wow:

[pnwmom]

14. That's just based on income. I wonder how it would be based on assets? n/t

[Xenotime]

16. It would be nice to have a better wealth management system.

If $800 is only about 1/2 way then somebody who makes $40,000 could give $800 and bring somebody up about 30 percentage points. And that person would still be in the top 3%. That's only $2.19 a day and it could help those who are suffering.

17. Most of all, stop blaming the victims and heroes, conservatives!

...not that there are any on here, but...

"Blame the homeless. Blame the working poor. Blame the union activists. Blame the advocates of more education spending. Blame the bleeding hearts for caring about the unfortunate. Blame gay teens for their own oppression."

Try following your own conservative advice and blaming yourselves and your ideas for once.

[MercutioATC]

18. Jesus. Top .3%.

I guess there are a lot of people in the world with almost nothing...

[leftofthedial]

19. You're in the TOP 28.4% richest people in the world!

But I'll bet you I'm in the lowest 5% of the people within a 1000-mile radius.
