    I think the protestors really really believe that 99% of America agrees with them. That's pretty much it, really.

    I am far from rich and they don't represent me. I have always worked for what I wanted and they can do the same. If a person wants a job bad enough they will find one, it may not be 20 dollars a hour but it will help pay bills

    It's pure fabrication on OWS's part. You are correct in that it's construed to stir emotions and make people believe these idiots represent them. Only the stupid sheeple fall for it, though.

    OK now we have the reverso-chango in which the right had their imbecile Palin attack poodle who "scared" us, who was there just to irritate "libs", now we got something under your festering skin and you can't quite figure what the itch is . . . the idea, my friend, is not "represent" you but "are" you, the segment of the population that grows poorer while the 1% gets richer, that's the statistical fact.

    It is a reference to the 1% of the population that controls over 50% of this country's wealth.

    Well if they don't represent the 1%... then math tells me that 100% - 1% = 99% bro.
