Economically, I'm not in the 1%, but I have no love for the Occupy Wall Street movement. They are just the 10% pretending they represent the 99%.
I presume you are referring to the OWS and feel I am in the 99%. I don't wnat anything free, just stop giving my country to the corporations and fat cats. Screw the status quo.
I'm part of the 100%. We're all in this together.
Im in the 99% because I dont pay the top tax rate...as errrr 99% of us dont lol.....im not poor...I dont want for anything. Having said that...Ive seen too much in my life with my OWN TWO EYES...not through a book or newspapers or articles or from a college professor...Ive seen people that need help through no fault of their own...theres alot of people that life just never gave them a break and they need help.

\Life is tough. A government that says it can make you more equal to others is lying.

I didnt say equality...I said help...and I stand by that

You give them way too much credit. Not even close to 10%. More like .001%.
You want a leveling of the playing field when it can never be.
Maybe not all the 1% ... yet the clearly you have not spent time around the uber rich or followed how they have manipulated markets, depleted natural resources and view you with total disregard.
The uber-rich have so much wealth that they believe can insulate themselves from any collapse above everyone else, with their gated and moated communities, multiple homes multi million $ in multiple climates, access to water, security, private jets and general insensitivity to the price of anything — and hence insensitivity to the value of everything.
While I do not demonize the entire 1% there is a very real and manipulative segment that welcomes the shrinking middle class and they gain off of each crisis and feel insulated from the shrinking natural and financial resources.

I'm very uncomfortable with the whole approach of 99 vs 1. It doesn't send a message of solutions, it sends a message of conflict.
Without granting your argument, I have a question about this statement. Do you really think the answer is waging battle with them or redistributing what they have?
Sorry. I won't participate in this little civil war. If you want to whine about how some people have more money than you, then knock yourself out.
But just a quick question....who are you supporting for President in 2012? A person who won't "deplete natural resources"?
