That talks about MONEY. Not wealth nor income specifically. The 99% statistic is based on the income inequity rising over time, NOT on the wealth inequity rising (since it hasn't done so over the same period at nearly the same rate). It is very kind of a Canadian organization to get some segment of Americans riled up, though. Ed O.
LOL, he seriously thought MSNBC got good ratings? They are pathetic. Red Eye airs at 3 AM on FOX and still gets higher ratings than CNN's primetime lineup.
All very nice but a GED or high school graduate really doesn't indicate that they can "read, do enough math to balance a checkbook, or know about civics" which was your criteria to avoid re-education camps.
LOL. Looking to the media (which is solely owned and operated by the 1%) for anything other than disinformation about the goals and actions of OWS. That's like asking Hitler what the Jews wanted.
We're back to the Julius question....who then do you believe? His answer was his own senses and nothing else. If you applied that to your situation, well....I'll just say that I haven't heard about Occupy Beautiful Central Oregon...unless it's from realtors selling homes to upstanding 1%ers.

From that site, (if one can trust it), there's a picture of a woman holding a sign that says "tax the 1%" and this (mission statement)?: You guys keep telling me this is about getting "Money out of politics", but here are two examples it's an attempt to "overcome the greed and corruption of the 1%" and "tax the 1%." Which is it? Or are these outliers? I will say, though, that I'm supremely amused that there's an Occupy Bend. Thanks for the link, Maris.
just out of pure curiosity I went to Zillow.com. 99 of the 2800 homes (4%) listed in Bend were over 1M. In the Seattle metro area, 350 out of 7100 listed (0.5%) were over 1M. Would owning a 1M home be considered "1%?"
