The protestors are representing the 99% that are not part of the 1%. The 1% control the politics and wealth in the U.S.

Like it or not if you are not part of 1% you are the 99%. We are in this together. My guess is that everyone who is posting on this board is part of the 99%.

99% includes hard working taxpayers and welfare recipients?

99% is too broad a category, I count myself in with hard working overburdened taxpayers. Not the idle rich, not the trust fund liberals, not the Obama worshippers, not the welfare crowd.

You mean King Obama, puppet of the internationlist corporations and banks?

I didn't vote for him, don't blame me for that. I'm in the percent that didn't vote for Obama.

Other than the idle Rich, all of the groups that you mentioned above have two things in common they are not in control of the politics in the u.s., and they don't have the vast majority of the wealth. Like it or not. You are one of the 99%.

There strategy is to divide and conquer, and you are allowing it to happen.

The 1% are the ones that paid for Obama. They are also paying for Romney. Wake up. The Republicans and Democrats may disagree about social security etc., but as it applies to the banksters, they are on the same page, because the 1% is in control.

Right. What a bunch of crap. Why not worry about what YOU can do to better yourself, rather than worrying about what everyone else does not does not have. Liberals will only be happy if we are all equal, even if that means that all of us are living in mud huts and burning dung for fuel.

Be a man and pull yourself by your own bootstraps rather than whining. That 99% is really a small group of far left loon radicals who like to beat drums, wear tie-dye, and protest. They are a bunch of bums who do not work and are far different than the majority of Americans. They are loons.
