Browsing through Wikipedia for a bit on US Demographics, I was amazed to learn that only 1% of the US population was categorized as “Capitalists” by Dennis Giblert Professor of Sociology (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/US_demographics)! I guess all the rest are workerbees whether it means they work for someone else or for themselves as Subway franchisees!! I guess you could still argue that the US can still claim the mantle of being the cradle of Capitalism with this miniscule 1% of its ‘Capitalist’ population, but would that be like saying India is a Christian nation with less than 2% Christians? or that Brazilians are a vegan nation with probably 1% vegans? or that China is … you get my point!
Who are the foolish wannabees that vote Republicans into power on the theory that they believe in an ownership society - ownership by the 1% of the 99% I suppose!
