Yeah, sure you are. So, you are saying that you made yourself rich on CAPITALISM, now you want to shut the door on others so they can't reach your status? So typical of the elitist mindset.

Employment and health care are not 'rights'.

Why must we "transform"? Why can't we comprise and adjust?

But here you are calling yourself the 1% and you want to get rid of the very system that affords you to not work. "I gots mines" eh?

my wife makes enough money that we ARE in the 1%. that doesn't change my opinion on the sad state of our country. besides, it's the .01% that's doing the real damage. the ppl who make 500k-1 million are really the grunts that keep the status quo as is. is time for the upper 1% to rise up!

No you are not of the 1%.

You sound more like a part of the lower half of the 99%.

A laid back house maid, a baby sitter,
running a none profit child care house.

Hang in there a 2% increase may be on the way for you
from the Government if you qualify.

and bumpus...I put my wife through medical school, and supported my kids for 15 years before she finished school. I was the primary caregiver up till a few years ago.

also, maybe look into how marriage works...

don't be bitter...
