Who are the 1% ?

Your analysis is flawed. What percentage of that 10 billion aren't old enough to drive yet. It's actually close to a half. What percentage of the remaining half have teenagers who just use their cars, or husbands and wives who share one vehicle? What percentage live in major cities where they all use public transportation because having a car makes no sense. (very few people who live in cities like New York own cars)

As far as the U.S. - You couldn't convince a single person in this country that only 9% of the people here own a car. I would think the average person, if asked, would put that number more at around 90% just from personal life observation. (Unless you grew up in the the most desolate spot in the country...and you were also blind)

There are plenty of reasonable arguments against the OWS protestors. This..just isn't one of them.

NEW MOVEMENT- WE ARE THE 69%

Don't forget that after they come for the 1% they will eventually need to get the other 48% the 51% majority mob rule are still jealous of.

LOL OP IS FAIL.

of course it is flawed...just like assuming we are not living very well as the richest nation in the world.

scared shitless of the 99

99% :s

The 1 percent are the jobless people taking pictures with their nikons and wearing their nike airs, while wearing custom made fruit of the loom shirts.

my shirt is Hanes, I prefer my pics to be taken with a Canon, and my shoes are Sketchers.... P.S. I cant believe you failed to mention their iPhone (I use a Droid)

the 1% is the queen of england, thats it.

just kill her and the whole movement comes to a close, problem solved let's pack up our bags and head home guys.

Apparently you can't judge the 1% by wealth because multi-millionaire lardass Michael Moore say he is not one of them. Apparently it is not George Soros either since he is funding most of the OWS crap. I guess it just is who the libiots say it is.

LOL

Michael Moore is absolutely not the 1%. LOL

No, the 1% has no name. If you know their name, they are not the 1%. I don't even care if you think Soros and Buffet are the 1%...they are the puppets of the 1%.

The Rothschilds may be at the fringe of the 1%, but again, I think they too are puppets.

The 13 Bloodlines, names you do not know are the 1%.

I can make a case that WE are the 1%.

If you look on a global scale, the middle class and rich in northern Europe and America have been the 1% for a long time.
We all benefit from labour that gets paid less than a few dollars a day. Or from a foreign countries resources they themselves only profit little from.
We are guilty for enjoying products and wealth that clearly was made or gotten by underpaying or doing things in a cheap destructive way.
It is the system we were born into, but despite problems and shit, we are the worlds 1%. That's ofcourse why the right is so upset about OWS. Their corporate views makes them wanna keep being selfish and block looking morally at how to create prosperity.
They actually always try hard to make being selfish a morally good thing (good capitalist, provide wealth, jobs and products) and sharing a destructive and even murdering thing (communism killed millions upon millions, depopulation).
