Costco and the 99%
  • mando61 April 2012 +1 -1
    Last night NBC did a a news segment on Costco and it's great success. They said that Costco has 60 million members! Holy Smokes! It also said they are building more and more stores. The the average card holder makes $100,000 or more a year. That would be the 99% . This in another reason I think the term "We are the 99%" needs to go. Because so many of the 99% are happy and doing just fine. If you make $100-500,000 a year, then you are the 99%.

    Do you notice "the logic"? The defiance of "gravity"? Calling the "tail" the "head"?
