Democrat Politicians constantly preach about the 1 percenters. What they don't say, and what they don't want you to know, is that they themselves tend to be apart of that 1 percent.
As well as Democrats that donate to their campaigns, are the majority of amongst the richest people not only in America, but in the World!

I wish the Conservative Media, would point this out more.

Bernie Sanders! The King of Communism/Socialism Progressive Democrats.
Some sites say between any where between over a million dollars up to 2.5 million.
Either way, he's part of the 1 percenters. Unless, of course you don't think millionaires
are in the top 1 percent of the country? He's more rich, than most people will be throughout their lifetimes. Bernie Sanders is running for President on the Democrat ticket.

Now to point out other Liberal Democrats, that not only are amongst the richest in the World, but have some of the most influence over America, and the World in general.

1. Jeffrey Bezos. The owner of Amazon!!! Comes in a whopping 161.81 Billion. How much did Trump say he had? I know it wasn't over 15 or 10 or something. I think 161 billion is a lot more than 10.

Number 2. in the World is Bill Gates. at 100 Billion dollars. He and Buzz Buzz Bezos both live in Washington State. A very Liberal State, with lots of drugs, and lots of poverty. You would think with the top 2 richest "White Men" in America, that they could possibly help their own state out more maybe? Neh. They're Liberals, why do they care? Jeffrey supports same sex marriages, and even donated 2.5million for it.

Then there is Bill Gates. He's the guy that comes up with the software, that helps track what you're doing on your home computers, as well as more than likely on your phones. When you buy a new phone, these apps and other settings are automatically pre-set on your phone, to track anything and everything you do. Including online banking, passwords, anything you think is actually safe, but unless you turn the settings off, they track you. Every where you go. Don't believe me? Look deeper within your phone, and see if the settings came with them automatically on, or off?

Mark Zuckerberg!!! Comes in at number 5. 62.3 Billion. The founder and main owner of Facebook! How many have a Facebook account here? and how much information do you keep on your Facebook? If the owner of Facebook, ever wanted to use any of your, or anyone else's information to his advantage, who's ganna stop him? The FBI that Obama stacked with Liberals?

Michael Bloomy Bloomberg. Comes in at 6. with 55.5 Billion. He has his own cable television channel. He's an old white man. Geesh! For the Liberals supposedly supporting equality, Most of the richest people in America, and the World, seem to be old White guys.
He's running on the Democrat Politicians ticket. Is he waiting past the first several states, I think? I guess he's too good for those states. That and he's so rich, he doesn't need them anyways.

There's the owners of Walmart that are 11. 12. and 13th richest people in America.
The Walton kids. They each have 44.6 Billion dollars. Why would they want to keep jobs in America, when they could not only help destroy Americas economy, but make sure that a little 6 year old has a job with no breaks, no benefits, harsh working conditions, and makes pennies on the dollar compared to an American being able to put food on our tables. Hillary Clinton, at one point and time was on the board of directors at Walmart.

Phil Knight at 17. 33.5 Billion. The owner of Nike. going to make more things in china again. and they like to give million dollar deals to people who like to kneel for the American Flag and our national Anthem, and dishonor it. Colin Kaepernick.

Sergey Brin, comes in at number 10. With 50.3 Billion dollars. He was one of two founders of Google. Google is the largest search engine in the World. It is biased against Conservatism. If you don't believe me, simply type in something political, that is more neutral, or more Conservative, and see how many Liberal sites come up, compared to Conservative ones.
Then type in a Liberal question. The ratio's are definitely rigged in the Democrats favor.

There are several more in the top 20 even, that I didn't mention.
I'm not really sure why Democrat Politicians keep lying to the American public
abut the 1 percenters? Do you know why?

How Bernie Sanders, The Socialist Senator, Amassed A $2.5 Million Fortune

I'm sorry my friend, but you're reading it wrong. 28 states in total are below the poverty line. Iowa is a neutral state, because it is purple and has gone 50-50 to both sides. So it's only 27. Out of those 27 states 17 of them are Democrat States that are below the Poverty line, and only 8 are Conservative states. So it's almost a 2-1 ratio, that of the States that are below the poverty line are Democrat States. The blue and the green are the states below the poverty lines. Here is a map of states that go Democrat and Republican.

Then talking about States that are above poverty. There are 22 in total. But you have to minus 2, so it's only 20. The reason this is, because Ohio and Florida are purple states, and neutral going 50-50. Out of 20 of the States Above the poverty line in America 16 of those Are Conservative States, and 4, only 4 are Liberal Democrat States.

So yes, Conservative States are doing much much better! I think I'm missing one state, so I'll throw the Democrats a bone, and just give them 1 extra point some where. Just like Pelosi, said she'd give 1 dollar for the wall.

If you have a net worth of $4,210, you’re richer than half of the world’s residents.
For most people, if you own a car, you're in the top 50% of the worlds richest people.

71% of the world's population lives on less than $10 a day

1. I was talking about Americans. Do you see any of the above named Billionaires that aren't Americans?

2. America shouldn't have to worry about the rest of the World's problems, all of the time. We have poverty here, we have drugs here, we have our own problems, and yet the Democrat Politicians seem to worry more about other countries then their own. Why is that? Yes, it is good for us to help other nations, because we're one of the riches countries out there, but considering that the majority of billionaires are Democrats, why don't they help other countries more? After all, they Democrat Politicians and Democrat celebrities are the ones that preach the most about helping other countries all of the time.

I know, it's because they could care less overall, and they're greedy! and Evil. Maybe instead of the taxpayers sending their own hard earned money over to other countries, Politicians and the top Billionaires in America should be sending their money? Oh wait most of the Billionaires are Democrats in America, and since there is a double standard politically that says the law of the land, doesn't apply to Democrat Politicians and Democrats, I guess they get a free pass again.

Maybe instead of the taxpayers sending their own hard earned money over to other countries, Politicians and the top Billionaires in America should be sending their money?

Bill Gates has supported the following charities:


Warren Buffett, CEO, Berkshire Hathaway - File photo

Billionaire Warren Buffett announced on Monday that he donated USD 3.6 billion worth of Berkshire Hathaway stock to the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and four other charities.

Buffett, 88, nicknamed the “Oracle of Omaha,” will convert 11,250 of class “A” Berkshire shares into 16.9 million class “B” shares, Berkshire Hathaway said in a news release.

Besides the Gates Foundation, the recipients will be the Susan Thompson Buffett Foundation, the Sherwood Foundation, the Howard G Buffett Foundation and Novo Foundation.

With prior Buffett donations, the longtime Berkshire chief will have given about 45 per cent of this 2006 holdings to the five foundations for a total of about USD 34 billion.

Buffett and the Gateses launched the “Giving Pledge” in 2010 in which billionaires promised to give at least half their wealth to philanthropic causes.

3-10? so 70 percent are Americans?

I forgot to mention that the study that you posted was from 2016. Before the statistics came out for Trump. Keep in mind that since then, millions of Americans are off Food stamps. So, it would make logical sense that more Conservative states would be above the Poverty line.

Most Liberal States keep hiking their tax rates.

So on one end you talk about me excluding 3 out of ten of the top billionaires within the World, but then on the other America is suppose to support everyone else?

Is that why both Republican and Democrat Presidents before Trump let other nations in the UN, and other agreements skip out on paying their own part?

Maybe if those Countries payed their rightful amount, America would have more money to give to them? That only makes logical sense right?

No scripture to support the view of isolationism?

Yes, it was Buffet who talked Gates into the plan to return their assets
to the general public. One can even read about it.

Buffett, Gates persuade 40 billionaires to donate half of wealth

14 billionaires signed Bill Gates and Warren Buffett's Giving ...

https://www.cnbc.com › 2017/05/31 › 14-billionaires-signed-bill-gates-and...

May 31, 2017 - Started in 2010, the Giving Pledge now includes 168 wealthy ... to give away more than half of their money like Bill Gates and Warren Buffett.

I'm sorry that you think that I "rant", but I don't feel that way.

If anything does change, it's because I'm trying to respond to a persons debate, and if someone changes the topic, or strays from my original post in any way, then I'm going to adjust how I give a response.
It's what most people do in general.

I thought that Billionaires and the 1 percenters were bad? That's what the Democrat Politicians and Liberal media have preached about for over 20+ years.

So let me get this straight, Billionaires are going to just give away half of their wealth away for this pledge?

Those Darn 1 Percenters! When the Democrat Politicians like Bernie Sander constantly say this, they exclude themselves from this of course.

Even though I guess their voters, don't realize that most of the Democrat Politicians are also part of that 1 percent???

It's suppose to be aimed at thee Republicans, even though with evidence and logic, more Democrats are amongst thee richest in America, and thee World.
