My One Percent Theory

Major Characteristics of the 1%:
1. Consistently use common sense—the mentality of the 1%
2. Seeks or needs order, is organized—for order is reasonable—the mode of the 1%
3. Participates in divine activity—or consistently has creative outlets
4. Thinks outside the box, especially beyond linear thinking—the strength of the 1%
5. Takes the initiative—the instinct of the 1%
6. Is virtuous, esp: diligence, courage, courteous, and discipline
7. Is optimistic (thus many think 1% is too high of a percentage)—power of the 1%
8. Does not need physical rewards—though we are not stupid to turn such away
9. Seeks to be with or is attracted to other 1%ers—magnetic personality
10. Faith: recognizes not perfect, but strives for excellence, the greatest good—while we all seek the good, the 1% seek the greatest good—ultimately that being for 99% of us the divine, God.

The burden that all 1%ers must bear is the frustration of carrying the weight of the 99%. The struggle for the 1% are the 2-3%ers who are so close but yet so far from the 1%--and they are twice and thrice as large as the 1%!

Fundamental Principles of the 1%:
1. Individuality—promotes, defends, and encourages personal liberties and self preservation—this is not individualism
2. Faith—promotes, defends and encourages freedom for religion—there should be an intentional change of “freedom of religion” to “freedom for religion” to assist the 99% who have been misguided by the 2%ers’ distortion of the 1st Amendment of the US Constitution.
3. Subsidiarity—the needs of the most local community are best meet by that local community—should be placed in the 1% of the local community

The major characteristic of the 2% = pride; power of the 2% is apathy; lying is their mode.
The major characteristic of the 3% = envy; power of the 3% is pessimism; inconsistency is their mode.

I challenge the following to be true if tested: 99% would agree that only 1% consistently use common sense; the 1% that would disagree are the 2% who think everybody uses their common sense for they think to say otherwise would be “mean.”
