Edited because I remembered I don't care
Yes any investment with a return of the lotto is a gamble, but again there is no investment that isn't a gamble that can return what a lotto can in the time it can.(return vs risk right Scott). Mega Return vs the risk of 1 dollar, and only played when the advertised jackpot is over 100 million.
As for my idea of how to join the 1%?
Obviously; provide a product or service that ideally the entire world would demand and afford, with minimal manufacturer cost while gaining maximum potential profit from sales...
Or a lot of influential contacts sending government contracts your way...
LOL there are tons of people who have only a highschool degree and roll in cash.
Obviously stick, im not in the 1%, closer to the 15%. And trust me dumbass if i had a multi-million dollar idea i wouldnt broadcast it on a message board...
Yep. If Thornton Melon can do it, anyone can.
Thornton is a badass...he is the 1%
For those with Netflix via internet, this is a great movie:
Back To School
The Maoist in the beginning is a fricking joke. At least the hippie has some insight.
You not being one of them.

No more of a fantasy than WC's trickle-down economic religion tbh.

Montgomery "Monty" Brewster also
Billy Ray Valentine also
Jed Clampett also
Don't you have some stupid statement to write up whining that you cant pay your student loan debt of $xxx,xxx because you majored in art/music appreciation/history, and that you will never achieve the american dream blaming the horrible 1%, and not because of your own short comings?
is this a joke? Dok this you?
^ that kid's mom spends all her money on kind bud, look at that boy's eyes!
, pointing out this guy's stupidity/lack of education really bothered him

Protesters Reflect Vast Majority on 99 Percent of Most Major Issues
The Occupy Wall Street movement that has spread to scores of cities claims to represent “the 99 percent.” Do they? Ninety-nine percent is perhaps too high a bar for public opinion. But the movement does represent the vast majority – who theoretically should be an important cons uency in a democracy. And on many issues, they really do represent the interests of the 99 percent.
The 99 percent have no interest in our hundreds of military bases and wars across the globe, another life-and-death point of difference with the one percent that decides, and defends, our rotten and murderous foreign policy. No wonder U.S. veterans of our ongoing wars have played a prominent role in these protests. The majority of Americans want our troops to get out of Afghanistan [PDF], which our government refuses to order. Two-thirds think the U.S. military should never have invaded Iraq, and even greater majorities have agreed that all troops should be withdrawn from that country this year. These are points of great controversy among the one percent, but not among the vast majority of Americans.
Meanwhile, the Congressional “Supercommittee” was considering cutting Social Security, an assault that has no public support, while resisting raising taxes on the one percent and cutting military spending – two of the most popular choices among the people for long-term deficit reduction.
