I just find the thread a bit odd. It's like people are insinuating 95% of the American public are feckless lazy welfare queens, who would starve were it not for the good charity of the 5 % .

There will always be a huge portion of people living below the poverty level. Why? because these mil/billionaires are robbing people left right and centre and turning HUGE profits, then turning around and looking for ways to keep their money without losing half of it to tax. The corruption runs deep, You'll never root it out now. You have to kill what was planted and start fresh. Good luck.

You're incorrect. We used to live in an environment which provided enough for everyone. The culture was matriarchal, not patriarchal. It is an assumption not evidenced that tye way the social institutions are currently set up simply reflects our nature. An assumption which is known by many to be false.

No. You are simply unaware.
The saharasia region where civilization only was some 10-12,000 years ago. We lived almost entirely in matriachy until the region became desert. As the climate changed so did the culture and social institutions.
You are 100% incorrect that we have been this way since being cave dwellers.
As for all the details, go read a book. I suggest this one to fast track you on the right direction:

Obviously.
the top 5% don't care about the bottom 95%

Why should they care about the 95%?
Why all the concern on the 5%?
Why can't people keep what they earn?

Comical.. I am not incorrect on this and one poorly written tome to the contrary is not convincing. Words mean things and my usage of the word "norm" was used correctly.
Please clarify.. Are you trying to get me to acquiesce that if only women were in control we would have a utopia with no 1% or 5%'ers? Are you really trying to be that simplistic?

You're serious?
Pathetic excuse for a human being.

Entirely illogical assumptions here.
READ A BOOK!
I have nothing further to say to you until you pony up and actually educate yourself a bit.
