A second Gilded Age?

The stats on our financial success keep coming in daily, it’s hard to keep up.

The conclusion: We are doing marvelously.

Admire this graph, which draws on the latest data from the Congressional Budget Office. Notice how our income has grown at a rate of nearly 300 percent since 1979. Three cheers for the 1%!

According to the Huffington Post piece, America is entering a Second Gilded Age.

Us? Joining the ranks of Vanderbilt and Frick, Rockefeller and Carnegie?

Aw shucks, Huff. Now’s that flattery.

NY Times has outed us… not.

The New York Times reports today that – get this – the 1% is heavily represented in New York!

As if those Occupy folks needed the Times to tell them. As if they aren’t at Wall Street for that very reason. As if most New Yorkers aren’t well accustomed to our leisurely gait around town.

Conclusion: Even those ragamuffins deserve some respect. They may be in the bottom 99%, but they are still people.

Sad News for Goldman

A lot of awful things are happening around the globe, but nothing saddens us more than the recent news about our dear friends at Goldman Sachs. That the firm is reporting losses for the first quarter since the financial collapse is the worst thing you want to hear when you wake up and look out the glass wall of your penthouse over the heights of Manhattan.

We know how hard this must be for you and your families, but we have faith you’ll make it through, just as our grandparents did during the Depression.

Another Bailout?

More good news:

Former Sec. of Labor Robert Reich was recently quoted saying we might get another bailout if the European market fix doesn’t work out. With any luck, our good friend Mr. Obama will make this one as good as the first! Thanks 99%!

We are the 1%

It is time to answer Occupy Wall Street with our own Declaration.

Declaration of the 1%

When in the course of human events, there comes a time when 1% of a nation’s citizens, corporations included, must defend themselves against the great masses of the world who are angry because the 1% has so much fun and they don’t. We hold the following truths to be self-evident: that we the wealthiest 1% are entitled to a lot of things, most things really; and among them are life, liberty, and whatever else we like. Get a job!

Signed,

The 1%
