Humans are inherently selfish beings. We like to think of ourselves as higher beings, as moral, and superior to animals, when we really aren't that much different. When the shit goes down, who will rise up? It is in fights, battles, and war that you see the true side of people. I see people talk about how they don't want a handout, only an opportunity to work, when I know that most of them, if they were in the elite's position, would run off with all our money just like the bankers did.
The sad thing is too many American idiots think they will end up in the elite, so they wind up being their pawns and defending them.
By definition, only 1% of people can end up in the top 1% of income/wage earners. This little fact seems to escape a lot of people.
