In tonight's SC debate he said it was dangerous to separate the 99% from the 1% because we're one nation under God.

Nevermind that his reason isn't even a reason, it looks like he's more than a little butthurt over being classified as megarich during the campaign.

It's not like he makes that much anyways. He ONLY made 375k from speaking fees last year. That doesn't even buy a decent yacht.

Lol, he was a 1% way before that. Do your homework.

To avoid that label he should donate 99% or more of his wealth

Ya know, they never do that despite what side of the fence they are on. Crazy! And yet, we fight over their existence like f00ls constantly.


CRAZY!

It's dumb to ask nearly anyone to donate over 40% of their income.

Obama donated 25% of his 2009 income, when you include the 1.4 million he donated from his Nobel peace prize. (Donated 6% of his other income).

While I'd donate more can't find fault with that. Peoples' donations also tend to increase as they get older and closer to retirement.

I wasn't asking him to do it. Not expecting him too either. But if he is truly bothered by the 1% label there is a solution.

he should like it nothing wrong with having money. However look at how he made that money. 1 born into a rich family. He made his way into the world buying companies then selling off their inventory and product lines to the highest bidder thus costing people their jobs. Now he wants to be your president.

Im not making any of that up or being to critical of him that's what he is.

You forgot the lobbyists in his campaign staff and how he's en empty suit with no reliable position on anything.
