Occupy Wall Street claims to represent the 99% (they don’t) railing against the top 1%. They are angry with Wall Street in particular, although many of the top 1% aren’t Wall Streeters. Some of them never finished college. Many were average middle class people until they had a “big idea.” Judging from CNBC and outlets like Real Clear Markets, at least half of the those that are Wall Street folks lean left. I’ve seen manyof the 1% out there lobbying for higher taxes. Millionaires like Kanye West, Susan Sarandon and Michael Moore have visited. So it would seem that big money supports Occupy Wall Street.

Excellent! We are all part of the 1% if we aren’t joining the 99%! I do laundry, iron, help with the lawn work, cook dinner, do dishes, make the beds, clean the house.... I am not a billionaire and where the heck is my private jet.

Great Show the Real 1%

Because they are the next generation of Red Diaper Doper Babies of the 1% who are themselves are Leftists. They sent these brats to Leftist indoctrination summer camps where they were trained how to do what they are doing now. The 1% Leftist Establishment tells the cops not to evict the OWSers and the cops follow orders.

Who is the Establishment? Hands down, it's wire service journalism.
