Just one of the recreational activities of the one percent.

Well, Alexa, you're correct - screwing folks, and buying things.

I believe the actions of these unscrupulous criminals are horrible. As a So Called "1% er" myself I resent being lumped in with criminals. Just because I am blessed enough to have worked hard (very hard ) and I am now enjoying the fruits of my labors by saving and wise investments, I find it despicable and disgusting that some people choose to call all people of the 1% criminals.
It is typical of liberals to divide people into groups. Black against white, Rich against poor, religious against agnostic and I could go on. Stop the name calling ! It is not helpful...
Criminals come in all shapes, colors, backgrounds and financial Status.

"liberals to divide people into groups. Black against white"
Priceless. Who's against affirmative action? Set-asides for minority owned business? Voter suppression of persons of color?
Liberals!
Priceless. Turn off the fox.

I reported Tricia's post because it stank to high heaven. Of course, I would've done so sooner, but I was working today, all day, *very hard*, and still haven't made it to an Atherton manse. But of course, that's my fault. I hate being lumped in with the rest of the 99%...I can't even say the middle class, given the erosion of that class.

So sad to see the superficial stereotyping displayed on here by multiplle parties.
Tricia, I'm a 1 percenter, i live in Atherton and im a "liberal." Your lumping of allll liberals into a category is nuts, just as bad as the other folks lumping all 1 percenters into a category . In this day and age, in our democratic country, it's stunning that literate people can be so small minded. Maybe all of you can bond in a mutual dislike of this post. That would be a good step in the right direction.

@Mirror: You do realize that Tricia's attitude reflects a certain segment of the 1% -- not all of it, of course, but a segment.
The fact that she put herself out there as a "spokesperson" for that portion of the population makes her a legitimate target for criticism.
