Cloudeleven Posts: 784 Incept: 2007-09-06 USA	Concerning the Occupy Wall Street movement, do you consider yourself part of the 1% or the 99%? 2011-10-10 13:30:21 Permalink

Oldno7 Posts: 2140 Incept: 2008-11-14 RECALL STATE USA Online	A poll with only one option to check is not much of a poll. Are you one of the 1% Are you one of the 99% Do you wish you were one of the 1% (my choice) Edit: I see there are now two options what happened? ---------- IT'S THE SPENDING STUPID The US must become less a government of men, and more a government of LAW.

Ramthebulls Posts: 10860 Incept: 2007-09-24 Queens, NY	I make my living from finance, I support market capitalism, and I think the problem is our socialist government when inhibits capitalism and gives corporations the ability to rent-seek via lobbying rather than engaging in open competition. All that said, I think I may be closer to the 1% than the 99%, at least unless Steph and others manage to co-opt the 99% and make it something other than what it is now. ---------- Umbrage is like love.

Bountyhunter Posts: 1274 Incept: 2007-12-05 Newport Beach, Ca	Depends how we are defining the 1% - if by income only your looking at $516k per year. Ive been close to that # the last few years but no way am I the real 1%. I consider the real 1% to have mutiples of that income and assets ..plus the key item INFLUENCE.I'm sure the anarcho/union protesters wouldnt agree that Im not part of the 1% their vision is anyone making 100K is the enemy ---------- Our world is run by the MOB, ie the Banking Cartel.

Ramthebulls Posts: 10860 Incept: 2007-09-24 Queens, NY	It really does depend on definition I guess. By income, I certainly am not 1% ... I may pull 6-figures next year, but just barely. I thought it was more about mentality than income. ---------- Umbrage is like love. No matter how much someone takes, there's always more for you to give. 2011-10-10 17:04:40 Permalink
Nanna Posts: 5662 Incept: 2008-01-20 NY State	Nope, I'm part of the 99%. I could have made a lot more money if I wasn't honest, and go by the "Golden Rule." But, I was raised (for better or worse) that money wasn't an end but a means to an end. So long as I get what I want when I want it, I'm happy :) Andrew Sorkin had a great line on CNBC this morning: "It's not about getting government out of business, it's about getting business out of Washington DC." ---------- "There are fluctuations in the market that don't mean anything."Ira Gluskin, February 14, 2012 2011-10-10 17:11:05 Permalink
Midwestman Posts: 2513 Incept: 2007-12-10 Indiana	Quote: Andrew Sorkin had a great line on CNBC this morning: "It's not about getting government out of business, it's about getting business out of Washington DC." Good one. A better one would be "It is about getting excuses and finger-pointing out of everything and sticking to facts and analysis." :-) Not big govt or small govt, better govt. Not big business or small business, better business. And so on. EDIT: Oh, I am in the 99% economically, but aspire to be in the 1% economically and influentially. No apologies for wanting to be the top. ---------- No crybabies! Stop it! Last modified: 2011-10-11 10:44:44 by midwestman 2011-10-11 10:43:56 Permalink

Stinkydrunk Posts: 760 Incept: 2008-04-12 SE MI Online	The premise of 99% vs 1% is stupid. ---------- If the generally accepted meaning of the word marriage can be redefined, so can "keep and bear" or "freedom of speech" or anything else in the Constitution.

Asimov Posts: 104014 Incept: 2007-08-26 East Tennessee Eastern Time Online	I accidentally clicked 1%, so subtract one from it and add it to the 99% I have no clue what it is, but there's only one thing I can think of that I'd be in the 1% of, and I seriously doubt that's what this poll is about. ---------- It's justifiably immoral to deal morally with an immoral entity.

2dogs Posts: 2941 Incept: 2009-03-25 Land of the Lost	Um... I don't look like that, Otis. Does that mean I can't be in the 1%? Are we talking 1% income-wise or philosophically, given the egregious media stereotyping of both that's been going on? ---------- You can't defeat the combined effects of massive voter fraud, the Free ** Army, and the entire bought and paid for media complex.
