What is Occupy Wallstreet?

Good game, thanks for playing, better luck next time.

Sometimes you are such an arrogant pr*ck. You really do try hard to alienate just about everyone.

Ok, here is some evidence. It's just a real study, performed by real scholars, who really know what they are doing.

Now, why don't you talk like an adult for a change?

Edit: "And as far as Statistics or facts go, you don't want to go there anyway, cause they most certainly do not help your case." And, they don't make your case either. The graph has no dimensions, and so we don't know the scale. Beyond that, it is a measure of the top 20% in each country compared with the bottom 20% in each country. Not a measure of social mobility, or the ease of social mobility. Factors to consider... Who has higher immigration? Ok, now let's compare the USA to the EU, rather than just the richest parts of the EU. How about the richest 20% in all the EU, versus the poorest 20% in the EU. That would change the picture completely.

Edit2: "go to the income mobility tab to see what I mean" Ok, I did and it proves what I said, not what you said. Sure, some people move down. There is no guarantee of only upward mobility, or that your hard working mom is going to eventually be a billionaire. That is not what the "American Dream" encapsulates. It means you have an equal (or at least a more equal) opportunity, to improve your position through hard work, good choices, intelligence and a little luck. It also doesn't mean there isn't a Danish Dream, or a Scandinavian Dream as well.
