You need hundreds of millions, if not billions to be in that special club and it's a very small club, not nearly 1% of the population.

People making over $500k DO have control over the debate in this country, ever hear of MONEY BEING PAID TO POLITICIANS?
And you're not paying attention to current events, you're just not getting it, it's the top 1%, not .01% they want to raise taxes on. Where the fuck are you getting these numbers? Out of your ass?
They want to raise the taxes on persons and couples that earn over $250k
Under Obama?s plan, in 2013 the top rate on ordinary income would rise from 35% to 39.6% while the top rate on dividends and long term capital gains would go from 15% to 20%.
I'm not making fun of myself, but keep it up and it will be easy to make fun of you!

Carbon is not the problem, it makes up 0.041% of our atmosphere , 95% of that is from Volcanos and decomposing plants and stuff. So people in the US are responsible for 13% of the carbon in the atmosphere which 95% is not from Humans, like cars and trucks and stuff and they want to spend trillions to fix it while Solar Panel plants are powered by coal plants
think about that
