Yup, this meme keeps getting reposted over and over like its something super intelligent...when in reality it's someone who has no clue how our economy works at all.

    Well, as presented it's not totally out of reason, it sticks to a fairly modest percentage.

    The real problem comes in when the pitchforks say '2%?!?!, it should be like 90%!!!!'

    Yep that's the issue. People don't realize that they have to sell stocks which in turn is going to have a completely destructive action on people's retirements, when the stock market goes tits up from stocks being sold in mass quantities to cover a 90%
