The article points to an income description of the top 1%, and sets the bar at $382K. These jerks aren’t the Oligarchs. The correct number is net wealth, I seriously doubt any trader in that building is in the top 1% in wealth.

Traders who have good years might feel comfortable giving $5000 to their favorite Crazy Party candidate. Rich people give in units of $100000 or more.

And as to his Benz? Someone wants to steal it? Old men drive Mercedes Benz. Young men with spirit drive BMW M5s. What a putz.

They should have gotten what they deserved.

Good morning all,

Are there enough cops and jails cell to capture the movement ?

I think the French 1%ers were rankled, these no nothing clowns are irked we might not bail their asses out next time.

That’s a radical outcome to these leaches.

Looks like the 2nd camp in Boston got dismantled, people beaten, used dump trucks to haul away belongings. Live is offLine with message “cleared 2nd camp”

Freedom in america, the world is watching.

Silent march for Boston @ #OWS was followed by about as many police @ 5am this morn.

Good morning, pups.

Well, they’ve admitted that we’re getting their attention. And for the record, I’ve never wanted to steal or vandalize ANYONE’S Mercedes.

Boxturtle (Except maybe Art Modell, when he stole the Browns)

*sigh* Did we learn nothing from breaking up protests in the 1960′s?

The Extreme Wealth Club of the World / The Oligarchy shield themselves behind the guy with a million bucks to his name.

Their Loyal Jeeves–Samuelson employs the same ploy. He shields these bloodsuckers behind the “small business” guy, who somehow wouldn’t find work without billionaires, and reportedly, trillionaires.

Some of these merely wealthy have Stockholm Syndrome and identify with their captors, others know that they are simply the human shields that by design will take the first hit when the gangsters make a run for it.

Judging from the rich guys’ minions at CNBC, they think they can deal with the protesters by mocking and ridiculing them.

It’s easier than fixing the problems that have gotten us all to this point, I suppose. But it won’t work.

When my plant closed I got a swift kick in the ass and healthcare through the end of the month (6 days) which I paid for with my final check. So yeah I feel $13 million in severance a little obscene.

Your pornstache hall of fame needs to include the guy from the Heritage Foundation that got his knickers in a knot because poor people have refrigerators.

Rankled? They’ll be extremely lucky if that’s all they get.

The minions at CNBC are taking now about how workers’ wages have to come down if the industry is going to be competitive.

Executives’ pay and bonuses are safe, of course. No need to get those down… It’s the workers’ wages that really have gotten out of control, you know…

Seriously.

This is the secret to the Globalists’ / “Free Traitors’” / Imperialists’ Success–(shhhh!)–S-L-A-V-E-R-Y.

I think workers wages should go up worldwide until they’re at least at the minimal level of America’s. Corporations should not be allowed to compete based on how little they can compensate their labor.

Boxturtle (yeah, I know. I’m now marked as a socialist communist class warrior forever)

I see that Blankfein from Goldman canceled a talk at Barnard college. I’m guessing God told him not to go.

The rich are such whiners. They’re lucky they’re not walking up the steps to be fitted with a hood and a noose.

They should have been completely and thoroughly rankled back in 2008, when they destroyed the economy with their financial engineering, played facehugger, and got bailed out because they’d kill the host if they were pried loose.

Tonight I’m going to swig some Pepto and grab a few baby aspirins to guard against stroking out, and watch the debates. I need to see the audience participation.

Save yourself the aggravation and watch Rick Steves on PBS and see how Europeans, despite their problems, are light years ahead of the U.S..

Would prefer it had been someone from the Barnard administration.

At least Chomsky is still scheduled.

omg not another Klown Kar Goat Rodeo tonight?

Whom will they exclude this time?

Do these poor not-poor understand that the world they’re creating means that anyone above median income will require personal security outside of their well-billetted, -staffed, and -quartermastered bunker-homes surrounded by gates in glass- and razor-wire-topped walls, like in any other banana republic overseeing a restless serf population?

Extremely restless if they can no longer afford cable.

This is where “population control” will come in handy.

Don’t forget the young people shot on the South Carolina State campus at Orangeburg, SC, many wounded and three killed by police in 1968. Kent State was 1970.

You know, a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, it was one of those “common-sense” accepted truths that if you’re being attacked constantly, you might want to stop and consider whether those attacking you have a point.

Evidently that’s only for the non-special people …

There are rich people and then there are obscenely uber-rich that run things who are counting on knuckle draggers not to know the difference. We can always count on them to equate our bank balances with our IQ.

Is it for the usual folks here?
