Where ‘the 99%’ Live
2nd November 2011
Read it. And watch the slideshow .
Representatives of “the 99 percent” have been camping out in lower Manhattan to protest economic inequality since late September, but the riches on display at some of their home addresses clearly came from “1 percent” families.
We searched Google Maps and the real estate Multiple Listing Service for the home addresses police collected during the arrests of less-than-law-abiding New York City “occupiers,” and found dream homes aplenty. These opulent houses include in-ground swimming pools, manicured lawns, and golf course access.
As I’ve always said, this is merely an internal dispute among the Crust, in a Clever Plastic Disguise.

Do you actually think that all of the 99% live in refrigerator cartons under the viaduct? The 98th, 97th, and 96th percentile make a lot more money than you or me, yet they are also part of the 99%.
Or do conservatives feel that only the severly destitute can or should be a part of what is seen as righting an injustice? If that’s the criterion for “standing” in this argument, then all of the non-millionare conservative pundits in the country need to shut their pie-holes about defending the mega-wealthy.
