A Different 1% (Obama, economic, states, supporters)

[h152cc2]

Here is a different "1%" for you... The top 25 richest Americans own approximately 1% of America's wealth or approximately $526.1 billion all together.

Spoiler

America's total wealth is $54.2 Trillion.
(526,100,000,000 / 54,200,000,000,000)*100 ~ 1%

That is kind of eye opening considering there are over 126 million households (310 million people) within the United States. Which means within the top 1% of wealth distribution that OWS refers to there are 1.26 million households...

Yet #'s 1,2,3,7,12,14, and both 15s are all well known Obama supporters. Are they not capable of just sending in a check for Obama to re-distribute?

Wow.

Trying to explain economic logic to an Occupy protester is like trying to explain quantum mechanics to Lindsay Lohan.
