Have you no shame  left in you  when you brag about your shareholdings- while millions of US  citizens do not know where there next meal will come from.   This si what can be expected from the leftist an the fascists - are you one of those two groups?.  

--------------------------

Perplexity AI, here is a table showing the percentage of stocks owned by different income and wealth groups in the United States:

What I don't understand about that chart is how do the poorest 20% have shares? Surely if someone was poor and they had a small amount of shares they would sell them.

Did a search for UK data- but it is not available. I suspect that less of the UK population own shares than the US. 

If 50% of the voting population vote for Democrats, it is hard to label them all shareholders of any significance.

You do not understand it because you do not know how the system really works is that 70% of the shares are owned by the bilionaires  and 20%  by the milionairs.   Shares are allocated o the middle class and working class due to their contribution to pension and other funds that invest in shares.

The situation as to 50% voting for the democrats is also misleading.   What is really amazing  as to how the Democrats managed to improve their share of the vote from 64 million n 2016 to 81 million in 2020,    Another issue is how did the percentage of voters actually voting increased from 58% in 2016 to 72% in 2020 of the t - the highest percentage of  registered votiersg in the past 120 years.

In 2929 the percentage of total voters in opinion olls in 2020 accoing t opinion polls indicated that  the voting was fraudulent - the latest polls stated 61% of the respondents now believe their was voter fraud in 2020 basically based on 25 million of unidentified people send mail-in ballots that was counted.     Hundreds of  thousands of voters in 2020 turned up at polling booths to vote in 2020 and found they have already voted through mail-in ballots,   If somebody voted in their places why were those false votes counted at all?     

In any event I think the present administration goes against opinion polls indicating the unidentified voters should not be allowed in he USA (82%) and disapprove of v ote ahrvesting as well - yet the Democatic Party wants to use the corrfupt system in California to the rest oof the country.

I will give you another example why the Democrat lost 25 seats in the House election in 2020 - if Biden was so popular amongst the voting public - what happened to his coattails  as the matter normally is.   The main-in ballots was only completed in respect of the Presidential voting - not the House level candidates and even Senators.     

There are too many people (82%)  who believes the US voting system is wide open for fraudulent votes to be counted,    That is why they insist that proof of identity must be provided when voters are registered and when they vote - but the D emcorfats are fighting that concept totally.   

Is Biden according to opinion polls popular enough to win the 2024 election - that will only happen if the California system is replicated in all the swing states.    There is at present no pandemic that the Democrats ignored laws as to voting procedures violating  in 2020 based on the danger of getting Covid should they vote in person n election day.   in the case of 13 of te 23 breaking of State election laws in 2020 - 14 ruled that the breaches applied were illegal and votes should not be counted - but those decisions were ignored by the States where it was most  common and the other 9 cases never ruled on the issue.

What i cannot understand why a country like S A  has election laws and implementation syste that makes it impossible to vote without identification.- while in the USA the voting  is encouraged by the Democratic Party in their effort to retain power.    .    .           .            .                       .           .

More than a year after President Joe Biden won the 2020 election, former President Donald Trump and his allies still insist without evidence that widespread voter fraud led to a stolen election. A new reporting project from the Associated Press shows that is false, finding fewer than 475 potential instances out of more than 25 million votes cast. Judy Woodruff speaks to reporter Christina Cassidy.

  More than a year after President Biden won the presidential election, former President Trump and his allies insist, without evidence, that widespread voter fraud led to a stolen election.

  A new, exhaustive piece of reporting from the Associated Press shows that simply is not true. AP Reporters went looking for cases of voter fraud in six states that Trump has challenged, and they found fewer than 475 potential instances out of more than 25 million votes cast, a number that would not have come close to changing the outcome.

  I spoke yesterday to Christina Cassidy. She's one of the reporters for the AP.

  Christina Cassidy, thank you so much for joining us.

  This was a deep and wide-ranging effort that you and your colleagues made. What, there were you and 10 other reporters. You talked to, what, 340 election officials across these states.

  What were you trying to find out?

• Christina Cassidy, Associated Press:

  Heading into the November 3 election, we were certainly aware about various statements being made about voter fraud.

  We were also aware that academic studies had shown that it was exceptionally rare. But once November 3 happened and we saw everything that happened since, we decided at the AP that we wanted to go to the source. We wanted to look for the voter fraud, and we wanted to identify what voter fraud had occurred, what potential voter fraud had occurred in the November 3 election.

  And so we embarked on this reporting effort that involved reporters in six states, the six states that were disputed by President Trump and his allies. And we went to the local election officials. And we asked them to identify for us any potential instances of voter fraud that they had flagged during their post-election certification and canvassing work.

• Judy Woodruff:

  And what did you find?

• Christina Cassidy:

  Well, in the end, we found it was just shy of 475 potential cases of voter fraud in those six states, which would not have made a difference in the outcome of the 2020 presidential election.

• Judy Woodruff:

  And this was out of millions of votes cast, if you add up all the votes in those states.

  Christina, tell us — just give us a couple of examples of the fraud that you did find, those individual cases.

• Christina Cassidy:

  Sure.

  I mean, they ran the gamut. You had individuals like a gentleman from Wisconsin who was a felon, and he did not understand or did not know, he said, that he — he thought he was eligible to vote. And so he voted. And it turns out Wisconsin is not one of those states that have loosened laws for felon voting. So, there was that instance.

  We had a woman in Maricopa County who has been charged. Authorities say that she submitted a ballot on behalf of her mother, who had died about a month before the election. And there were other instances of people who had submitted mail ballots. Either they had mailed them or dropped them off and those ballots showed up after they had voted in person, whether in early voting or on Election Day.

• Judy Woodruff:

  And we know that former President Trump, the people who support him, continue to push this notion of massive voter fraud, despite all evidence to the contrary.

  And you spoke to the former president. What did he say?

• Christina Cassidy:

  Well, the president definitely spoke about his concerns about the pandemic-related changes, and how there were — that there was such an increase in mail ballots, and his belief that those are less secure.

  But speaking with election officials, they stand by their protocols and their procedures in place. And there are numerous procedures, protocols in place, guardrails to ensure that every ballot is accounted for

  • Mail ballots that are sent out, they are logged. Every mail ballot that is returned is logged.

    They go through various security checks in a number of states. They do — they conduct signature verification. So, when those ballots come in, they're looking at the signatures. And every time a voter has had contact with their election office, whether it's signing a petition, requesting a ballot application, submitting a ballot, those signatures are on file, and they're kept on file.

    And so, when those ballots come in, they're reviewed. They look at those signatures, and if there's a discrepancy, they flag it. They contact the voters. They say, hey, there is an issue here. You need to come in and prove that this is your ballot. And if that person doesn't come in, that ballot is discarded and is not counted.

  • Judy Woodruff:

    So, let me just ask you, is there any possibility, based on what you found, that this election could have been counted erroneously, that the results could have turned out differently than they did?

  • Christina Cassidy:

    Not based on voter fraud, no.

  • Judy Woodruff:

  • ll right.

    Christina Cassidy, an exhaustive piece of reporting from the Associated Press.

    Thank you very much.

  • Christina Cassidy:

    Thank you.
