My Brother is a partner in a medium sized CPA Firm.

None of them are close to being in the top 1%.

All of them went to school for years, studied for years and work the kind of hours that has caused divorces.

I have one client, a medical doctor, who comes close to the 1% and he is one of the most liberal guys I know. He once was amazed that he wasn't paying more in taxes.

I read somewhere that if you aren't in the top 1% it's your own fault.

All of these people have worked hard, sacrificed for their profession and yet they are still not included in the top 1%.

While all of these people help other people, it is mainly those who tinker around the edge of finance, having the ability to make millions by moving stocks around and around and around again, in other words offering nothing constructive to the cause, that are overwhelmingly in the top 1%.

It just so happens that it is also those same "finance" geniuses who killed the economy for the rest of us.

I just wanted to put that out there.
