90% of stocks ARE owned by the richest 10% of Americans. To say that profits go to pensions confuses the issue, as most pensions are underfunded - on purpose, to pad the exorbitant executive bonuses that the CEOs and their boards grant themselves.
I love the faux heartfelt tone in Mitt's voice, trying to evoke sympathy for the poor 1% who own everything.
I have such a grrl crush on Amy Goodman. She's just amazing. For her to have a "face for radio" and still have the bravery to do a nationally televised broadcast every weekday, and often on weekends, too, is a bravery I aspire to have. I hope she has the time to mentor non-physically conforming (read un-pretty) journalism students.
