-If you make more than $ 10,000, you earn more than 24.2% of Americans, or 37 million people.

-If you make more than $ 15,000 (roughly the annual salary of a minimum-wage employee working 40 hours per week), you earn more than 32.2% of Americans.

-If you make more than $ 30,000, you earn more than 53.2% of Americans. -If you make more than $ 50,000, you earn more than 73.4% of Americans.

-If you make more than $ 100,000, you earn more than 92.6% of Americans. -You are officially in the top 1% of American wage earners if you earn more than $ 250,000.

-The 894 people that earn more than $ 20 million make more than 99.99989% of Americans, and are compensated a cumulative $ 37,009,979,568 per year.

This is what I found on google:

In the last 500 years there has been a cataclysmic —Great Event?? of international significance at the start of each century, he claims. Occurring in the middle of the second decade of each century, they include events which sparked wars, religious conflict and brought peace. In 1517 Martin Luther nailed his theses to the door of Wittenburg church, sparking the Reformation of the church and rise of Protestantism. 1618 marked the start of the 30 Years War and decades of religious conflict in Western Europe That conflict ended with the establishment of the Hanoverians in 1715. They ruled over Great Britain and Ireland, and Hanover (in Germany). The enlightened Congress of Vienna took place in 1815, following the defeat of Napoleon, and heralded a century of relative stability across Europe. In 1914 the First World War broke out, a catastrophic conflict that would claim millions of lives and set the tone for international discord throughout the 21st century.



Thanks for the info! 🙂

Honestly, I'm all for it. This bullshit economic system(capitalism) needs to be rebuilt anyway. Don't get me wrong, it kills me to think of how many(including me) will suffer at the hands of this collapse. Look at what's happening in the Ukraine. For the U.S. to try to lecture Russia on invading countries("weaker" ones) to protect its own interests is hypocritical and John Kerry looks like a complete ass for saying...but nobody will point that out. Its one of those "wink/nod" "elephant in the room" things.

Its this exact mentality that will cause the country to fail and go down like the Romans. But I also think other countries have bern preparing for our demise so it may only be us that suffers.

We're not even under capitalism though. We're under cronyism/fascism. And if it's meant to collapse, what they will give us won't be better. Trust that.

The dollar is the currency of the world. US goes down so does everyone else.
