Answer:

...all the time...

Explanation:

In lines 5-8, the exaggeration(hyperbole) is "...all the time..."

Hyperbole also called overstatement is known to be the use of exaggeration. It is a rhetorical device or figure of speech which is used to create strong impressions or emphasis of a particular thing. When hyperbole are used as figures of speech, they are not meant to be taken literally.

From the given passage, the exaggeration "...all the time..." tends to explain that the 99% can also watch TV shows every time (all the time) if they had it.
