I couldn't finish it. I cannot respect an opinion where the speakers skill set only allows him to manage what he wants to emphasize by using profanity so why go on.

I do think that the problems belongs to the 100%, not the 1% or the 99%. I think it is counter-productive for our citizens to be at odds with each other and our politicians waging what amounts to class warfare.

That said, the fact that the top 1% makes so much money that they can pay 50% of the taxes sucks. No one is entitled to that much of the pie. That needs to be corrected.

I think there's a bleeped out version somewhere out there.

Who taught you that?
People are entitled to as much of "the pie" as they earn, win, or someone gives or wills to them. "The pie" is not finite.

A church story for you:

The Catholic Church in Mexico once owned a huge portion of the land and their revenues they produced. You might compare that to the rich owning a dis-appropriate amount of the USA's wealth. It got to be that the Church was challenging the government because of their wealth and influence. Yeah, just like the rich manipulating media and congressmen.

The Catholic Church doesn't own a single acre of land now. It got so ridiculous that the government took it all away from them, a vote and the slash of the pen. They kept the magnificent churches but don't own the land they are sitting on. You can compare that to motivated bunch of citizens who finally vote to end the inequality.

Still left were the rich who owned most of the rest of the land. Huge chunks of that were taken away from them and given to the poor not so very long ago. Some votes and the slash of the pen again.

A vote and a slash of the pen is all it takes to correct this in the USA as well.

Save your welcome.
I don't speak or write that way, and I believe streaming profanity reflects extremely poorly on the speaker or writer in many ways. In this case I picked through it because I happen to believe adamantly in the core message.

And now the drug cartels "own" many of the churches, and almost half of the population lives below the asset based poverty line. Pick your poison.

The Catholic Church????? It is basically the only non-gringo church in Mexico.

Email that to Drudge because that is definitely a breaking story! Wow!

It's not a breaking story.
I've been reading news outlets and speaking with missionaries about it for over a decade.
