Would you rather be in the 1% or the 99%?

Where is the option for being in the top 1% and not protesting about it at all?

1% of what? if it's the 1% of highest earners in the world, then everyone here is in it, except possibly jimmy who appears to earn 1p for a 23.9 hour working day.

Incorrect.

By your reasoning i would be looking for a man who has something.

We are talking about a man who has nothing.

A bit semantic, but if his only posession is his shoes and you take them away from him, then he then has nothing.

Not that this is ot but on this i agree with jimmy. If he had a pair of shoes begore he nicked them he would be walking in the shoes of a man who had nothing but a pair of shoes.

The guy with no shoes would now feel he had been relatively lucky to own a pair of shoes rather than nothing at all but for the fact he is probably now dead from the cold and being out in it naked and shoeless.

My household brings in >£30,000 and I would like to be in the top 1%

So now we're looking for a man whose only possession is exactly one shoe?

ok...

1) find a man whose only possession is a pair of shoes

2) follow him around until you observe him throwing the shoes in the bin

3) put shoes on

4) walk

IS THAT GOOD ENOUGH?!

(if not, I've got "find a man with nothing, give him a pair of shoes, steal them, etc" in reserve)

I think you have to find a mand with shoes and take one, and then hop together for a mile. It seems the only possible answer, and it mightnkeep him warm.

It took me a while to figure out which was the 'less than' sign. God, I hate maths.
