Geek Gifts for the Top 1%: The Genuine 1940s Superman Comic Strip

The Razer better have something going for it that's not listed. I got a Toshiba Qosmio laptop with i7 processor, 8 GB RAM, GPU with 2.5 GB VRAM, and a 18" HD screen with a Blue Ray player for about half that price. It's been a great laptop so far (9 months).

Seeing as how most of the goofy crap on here is from Hammacher Schlemmer, I have to wonder just how many of each thing listed has been sold. I mean really, who opens up a catalog, sees that mini sub, and says: "Only 2 mil? Heck yeah!" then places an order?

To make the top 1% you have to make somewhere in the neighborhood of $380,000 a year. I'd say most people in that range couldn't afford most things on this list.


The bottom 50% of wage earners (which is a TON of people, btw), pay 2.7% of all federal income tax. People need to stop waiting for everything to be given to them. Learn a trade, work hard, move up and support yourself. Raising taxes on the top 1% (many of whom are small business owners, who provide...wait for it....JOBS!) is not the answer. Stifling the private sector with higher taxes and regulations hinders job creation and leads to a welfare state where people want everything but are willing to do nothing in return.
