    For the UK:
    Percentile point Wealth to qualify Percentage of total wealth owned by people at and above this level
    Top 1%----------£688,228---21% of total UK wealth
    2%--------------£460,179---28% of total UK wealth
    5%--------------£270,164---40% of total UK wealth
    10%-------------£176,221---53% of total UK wealth
    25%-------------£76,098---72% of total UK wealth
    50%-------------£35,807---93% of total UK wealth

    7% between the bottom 50% yet the poorest 10% suffer falling incomes and the richest 10% almost have double the income growth of other percentiles.

    Yeah no, don't do that. You will give Occupy- movement a bad name (Even if this is not directly connected to it)

    Think I just threw up in my mouth a little bit. Still can't lose the Soviet symbols after all this time and supposed 'modernization.'

    Also, like D3adtrap said, no one likes commies. They are the lowest of the low, right down there with Nazis, as far as the average American is concerned.

    I don't hate commies, but history shows that it has not been any good (other than revolutions from totalitarian regimes & progressive thinking) That being said, I view ideology & developing it as positive way of thinking and bit naive.

    But being what it is, it's not something I would like to have.

    My point in this was exactly what Kali pointed out- people don't like commies, expecialy Americans.

    If thats the worst the police have done than I would not call them brutalized by the police. They should travel to Greece...
