With the Occupy Wall Street and related “occupation” events around the U.S., there seems to be a lot of clinging to this separation between the top 1% of income earners and the other 99% who some OWS activists say they represent. Of course, they’re often quick to say that some people in the 1% are still cool (you know, activists celebrities, the late Steve Jobs, etc.). Anyway, I had being lumped into a percentage, even if I do think the OWS movement is a good thing. So here’s my take one it:
I am not a percentage.
I am an individual,
and I want to determine for
MYSELF
who gets to have
MY
money.
