Atlanta (CNN) -- Andono Bryant shuffles across an old shuffleboard court to pick up groceries at the food co-op.
"This is the real Occupy," she says.
The 44-year-old mother of five grown children scoops up boxes of food. She doesn't have time to go a mile away to the Occupy protests and shake her fist. She's just trying to make sure her family can eat today.
A few miles north of the Georgia Avenue Food Cooperative, Andono's husband, Alan, 47, serves steaks to some of the targets of the Occupy movement: the 1% of Americans who have enjoyed nearly 60% of all gains in income over the last three decades.
Alan Bryant mans the grill at Ruth's Chris Steak House, where a well-marbled cowboy ribeye fetches $44 and a fully loaded 1-pound potato goes for $7.
What people don't seem to realize is that "class warfare" has been going on for years and the wealthy class has already won and the working and middle classes have already been defeated.

Think you can’t get rich as a waiter? Think again. According to a new book The Wealthy Waiter by Joe Durocher, associate professor of hospitality management at the University of New Hampshire, waiters and waitresses can easily pull down $150,000 a year as long as they do two things – act like entrepreneurs and think of their tables as a franchise.

People should really read articles/links before trying to comment and put others down.
Sad testament to society that people are so quick to demean and defame.
doesn't mean a thing, in a place like RC the wait staff splits the tip with rest of the staff......
You were wrong, you jumped the gun...all in order to be hateful and ugly.
The man is a line cook and makes $11.00/hour. He doesn't get split tips.
READ! words mean something.
The 44-year-old mother of five grown children. Well, apparently she didn't feel that poor because she felt she could afford to have five children.
Any idea how many people get together, then realize a little one is on the way? Abortion costs money, and there was a time when birth control cost money as well. Five may not have been planned. Sometimes, kids happen, and maybe she doesn't believe in abortion. Just because she had 5 does not mean that they were all planned. Possible that none of them were planned.
