Are You Wealthy?  The answer may surprise you.  Compare your "Wealth" to the rest of us:

Type in your annual income, click US Dollars, and see if you are "wealthy", in the middle, or poor.

philosophy; that is, the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness.

Interesting. Americans living below the current poverty level are in the top 13% of the world's richest people.

15% of Americans live below the poverty level.

They should be happy that they are rich. They just look at the glass as half empty.

Pretty much confirms what I have been saying, we have the "richest" poor in the world.
BTW, I guess I am one of those evil 1%'ers as well

Don't worry 55tbird, when the Obamacare taxes start to take effect we'll all drop into the poor level.

IT'S A HOAX!!! No matter 'what' amount you put in....it says you are RICH!!!! It's just a ploy for $$$$!!! We first put in $10,000 and it went almost to the end of the scale to RICH....then we put in $5,000 and it showed that we were richer than the $10,000!!!!!!!

Looks like ALL government programs can now come to and end..............ALL AMERICANS ARE RICH!!!
Americans should be thrown off food stamps, unemployment and all forms of welfare immediately!!!!!


Quoted Text
RICHER THAN YOU THINK?

How do you feel about that? A bit richer we hope. Richer and ready to give some of your newly found wealth to those who need it most. It not hard - just slip your hand in your pocket and pull out something special. Something that can help redress the balance - and also make you feel uncommonly good. Many peoples lives could be happier if you donated just one hour's salary (approx $1531.79 - UK estimate).

All you have to do is make a choice.

$8 could buy you 15 organic apples OR 25 fruit trees for farmers in Honduras to grow and sell fruit at their local market.

$30 could buy you an ER DVD Boxset OR a First Aid kit for a village in Haiti.

$73 could buy you a new mobile phone OR a new mobile health clinic to care for AIDS orphans in Uganda.

$2400 could buy you a second generation High Definition TV OR schooling for an entire generation of school children in an Angolan village.

Yup! Compared to the rest of the world, on average, Americans are filthy rich.

DID YOU KNOW..?
The world's 225 richest people now have a combined wealth of $1 trillion.
That's equal to the combined annual income of the world's 2.5 billion poorest people.

Yes, thanks to Capitalism. Of course you tyrants get to change that and destroy our system and turn us into turd-worlders soon enough and make us suck canal water like all the rest. That is one of the reasons I despise you with all the fiber of my being and want to see your political demise. The other is that you want a centralized power to threaten me with imprisonment on a daily basis for my ways and beliefs and want to strip me of my individuality and my right to make my own decisions. That is why I utterly yearn for the personal demise of you and your children. I hate tyrants and you are them. Sic semper tyrannis.

I don't give one flying fu(k about the turd world or some long off ancestors in the crap hole that is Europe. They can rot for all I care. They pray for our destruction each day. I care only about this country and what you murdering tyrants in jack boots want to do to us here. Why don't you move your own private socialist cesspool off of our shores and stink up Africa or South America some more. Rot with the rest of the communists and turd world gutter slurpers.

Which one is it, are they rich or wealthy?  Wealthly people control resources and resource production.  Rich people use the resources to manufacture the products people want.  Don't buy the computer you are using, it makes the company that manufactured it rich.  Stop consuming the goods and services that make the peple creating them RICH - or stop bitching about it.

You are a typical occupier leftist.  Talk about convoluted logic, this is a guy typing on his home computer, carrying a cell phone and watching cable TV on his high def flat screen, bitching about those rich cock suckers that sold him that stuff.

I have no problem with the rich, or poor (Profanity deleted) who sold me that stuff.  None at all.  I assume
that they were successful, or trying to be successful, businessmen.  

Cic always, and I mean always, gets it wrong.  He projects his own agenda and prejudices on to others.
Sad.

You have no problem, you just lobby everyday on the forum for the government thugs to take some of the wealth from the "rich" and give it to whoever they think is most deserving...and as we know, the most deserving is usually determined by who contributed most to the party in power.
