I Am The 1%

It seems as though every time I turn on the T.V. I see some new place that is being occupied by those who are the 99%. I look at the numbers a little differently. I am blessed to be counted as the 1%. Now, please don’t take my numbers as a numerical fact but consider what I am pointing out in light of the following scriptures.

This has been coined as...
