Are you idiot liberals going to camp out and protest the evil, greedy doctors?

Are you going to "occupy" your nearest hospital?

No? Why not?? Explain yourselves hypocrites!

Good for them. Others should strive to become great doctors instead of crying about how much they make.

Evil? Probably not, though a lot of them are jerks. Greedy? Certainly.

Yea, I think OP isn't too good with stats.

Saying 20-50% of doctors are in the "1%" is not the same as saying 20-50% of the "1%" are medical doctors. Fail.

That is not what your link says. However...the question you pose would be interesting if it addressed what your link says is the largest represented group.....lawyers.

will the left be protesting lawyers?

Perhaps that explains the confusing nature of the title.

If half of the 1% are healthcare workers I'd say that's plenty to be outraged about since that industry is the one bankrupting the country.

Hopefully your link to this one is better than the one for your OP.

That's a fair point, and yet radio silence from the Occupy crowd.

Between half and a fifth of "the 1%" OK, let's break this down. Half = 50 mussent. Fifth = this:



..or 20 mussent.

So, the top 1 mussent of earners contain medical people somewhere between half of them and a fifth of them? Wow.

I'm sure you have a link to this quote and the referenced data, right? Because as I have already pointed out, the one link you have provided in the midst of your rambling said nothing close to what you are claiming in your title.

Are you under the impression healthcare worker income accounts for any significant cost difference in the US vs other First World Country equation?
