I think that's a pretty anti-semetical statement.
No, Jewish people do not own 99% of money in the world. I work 40 hours a week, study and pay my taxes on time. Everything I have is because I worked hard for it, and earned it to every extent of the word.
I grew up in a fairly poor home, and even on that degree ended up homeless for a year. It took my own personal hard work and will power to get out of that situation.
That you would say such a thing only shows a lack of education on your part. If you want to accomplish things then go for it, but don't categorize and stereotype certain groups of people based on their personal religious beliefs.
Educationally, a lot of Jewish families will put their children in private schools so that they can learn more about their religion. This of course isn't what every Jewish family in America does.
It's the same concept as going to Catholic school. If you can afford to put your children through private school, generally you go that route because you end up with a better education and respect for your own culture in a lot of instances.
The way that public education is going currently: I wouldn't want to throw my future children into public school, and I'm sure a number of people would agree on this standpoint when doing comparisons between other countries.
If you'd like to learn more about the educational system itself, you can check out: http://abcnews.go.com/2020/Stossel/story?id=1500338
Educate yourself on the facts, before throwing stereotypes, and random propaganda into the mix.
If you'd like to understand more about Jewish culture in general then check out: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Judaism
If you'd like to understand common stereotypes that the Jewish culture faces (what you stated was probably based on some improper information given to you) you can read/learn about it here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-Semitism
I hope that this helps.

Whoa, just a litttle bit of a misconception there.
I know lots of jewish people and quite a few are on the bread line.
What the jewish comunity does well, which is something that the Indian communinty does equally well, is to actually behave like a community. They tend to look after thie own first, Family members primarily and then people from within there own ethnicity. I cant blame them for that, If anything it's something that other communities could learn from.

All of those things you just said are completely untrue. Jewish people pay taxes as well as we do. They do NOT own 99% of the money in the world.
Those are common rumors spread by skinheads, neo-nazis, and other anti-semetic groups.
Jewish people are people like the rest of us, in general they have a strong cultural heritage, although this does not hold true for all Jews or people of Jewish descent. Overall, they are not that different from the rest of us, and even those Jewish who still maintain their cultural heritage are just like everyone else, subject to tax, and aparently to rampant stereotyping.
There are also plenty of Jewish children in public schools, I went to school with a few myself. You may see less of them, but that is because there are not that many Jewish people overall, it is, demographically one of the smaller religions that is widely known.

Jewish people are just that...people.
To judge an entire group based on a few people, or a stereotype, is foolhardy. And for your information, I knew plenty of Jewish kids when I went to school...PUBLIC school.
And where on earth did you get the idea that they don't pay taxes? What is your source for this, or did you just pull it out of your a**? I'm guessing it's the latter.
Think before you post such foolish nonsense.

I think Jewish people are nice (at least the people I know). I don't think they are exempt from taxes. But if they do own that much money, it just means that most other people aren't being smart about how they use money. Most of us could use a few lessons in money management.
And just to let you know, there are Jewish kids who go to public schools. I knew 2 of them.
Anyways, those are my thoughts.

I'm not going to bother answering this question but instead i'll ask my own. Why do a few ignorant people feel it neccessary to believe everything that they are told? I thought the Nazi's were wiped out with hitler and in an age where we should be more accepting of people wether they're jewish/muslim/gay/black I think it's dangerous that people are seemingly so uneducated that they feel they have to ask such rediculous questions.

Where do you live that you "neva" see any Jewish Children in public schools? Before you lump an group of people together and put them in a box that you've labeled.....educate yourself.

This is not a real question, is it. You have made a ridiculous statement, and you then ask people whether we agree with you or not.
You are just repeating myths that have been circulated in anti semetic and racist circles since the Nazis spread them to justify their behaviour.
Don't expect any sympathy or support for your offensive behaviour from the majority of people who use this site.
The question would have been offensive whichever group you had decided to have a go at today.

I think that you have a problem. You can't be so naive to believe that someone doesn't pay taxes because of their ethnic backround. I went to school with Jewish kids (and because of my parents military backround, I went to a lot) on and off military bases. You should probably do a little more research, that way you won't sound so stupid the next time you ask a question.

A few facts:
a) Hebrews DO NOT control 99% of the money in the world.
b) I attended public school with several Hebrews.
Give these to your racist acquaintences and see what they say.
