Kirkland, 99% was a catchphrase, a slogan. I'm not in the 1%, not close, BUT I'd like to work to get closer to where they are rather than hang out on Wall Street camping with a bunch of smelly hippies bitching and moaning and waiting for someone to just come along and ask nicely that all the rich people ante up and spread their wealth around. NO, I have very little in common with the OWS fools.
